Australians just released their 2020 estimates and Melbourne just overtook Sydney as Australian most populated metro area. That’s big!

^ Uhhh those numbers are very very off, for all those metros.

Chicagoland should be at 9.5 million not 8.8

It's clearly not CSA (because CSA is an insane definition). But yeah I don't know how it's defined...

One could be urban area vs. metro or CSA etc. Not sure though.

Right, stretching out to farmland is a bit much

These have to be urbanized areas. Birmingham's population is listed abou 200,000 shy of the metro populition a currently defined.

Yeah that is big. Anyone know how or why this happened? COL in Sydney? More migration to Melbourne? etc. Anyway, that's very interesting.

Both are now growing faster than the national average, MEL since 2001 and SYD since 2011. Australians are concentrating even more around their two largest cities. Sydney is more expensive and that’s why Melbourne pulled ahead. That’s not the first time though: during Australian Gold Rush in the 1860’s, MEL also overtook SYD, which later retook its place.

I'll add that Melbourne has long been considered Australia's most important city culturally. It maintained that position even during those decades when Sydney was ahead. We grew up in an era when Sydney was largest but these 2 cities have long been quite similar in size.

Unlike Toronto & Montreal where Toronto overtook Montreal in population in the late 1970s, Melbourne & Sydney are so close that this battle for Australia's biggest city prize could go on almost indefinitely. They are so close and both growing that they could go back and forth for decades to come.

The slowest growth rate since the 1950s. China is getting old, they will lose 70 million in their workforce in the coming years.

BA has 16 million? I had no idea.

The core is obviously huge and quite dense/vibrant, but BA doesn't have a large suburban expanse. You have the urban core, some slums, and then you're out in the countryside. It doesn't feel anything like Sao Paulo/Mexico City. Feels more Lima/Bogota/Santiago.

--- New York, with its strong performance, managed to be tied to Mexico City and São Paulo on the top;

--- On the 2nd group, we now have Buenos Aires tracking Los Angeles mostly due the disappointing number from LA;

--- Lima is growing fast and we'll be very close to Rio de Janeiro by 2030. Rio de Janeiro is not far away from having negative natural growth (births minus deaths), so the growth will be very slow. Bogotá, and Colombia as a whole, will slow down fast as their birth rates plunged. Chicago will need a 4% growth to become a megacity. Not difficult, but not easy either;

--- San Francisco, Toronto, Santiago, Dallas and Houston all growing fast. For now. Chilean capital will start to deal with smaller growth as births plunged there. San Francisco and Toronto with high housing prices. And the Texans, well, they're the strongest bet to keep growing at a fast pace;

--- Then another group with 5 US metro areas: Philadelphia, Miami, Boston, Atlanta and Washington, Boston being the biggest surprise here.

--- Monterrey with the highest growth rate in the group and Guadalajara doing quite well. Let's see if they will manage to keep those rates. Belo Horizonte slightly above Brazilian average for the past 30 years, so it will probably grow slower as the rest of the country. Detroit with a promising positive and it seems it will be that way during the 2020's, maybe even targeting a 5.5 million by 2030.

--- Seattle, Phoenix and Caracas are about to break the 5 million barrier. We have some on the continent 4 million people metro areas (Brasília, Recife, Porto Alegre, Montreal) but they're still far away from the 5 million mark.

I used Buenos Aires + La Plata, although they're regarded as two separate metro areas by Argentinian office.

Argentina indeed is empty. Buenos Aires ends and then only fields. In fact, it seems Los Angeles in this regard.

Mexico City has the Central Valley and São Paulo its Macrometropolitan Area, both way above 30 million people in those regions. And New York, of course, boxed by Philadelphia, Allentown and Hartford areas.

I'm a bit surprised at how high the growth rates of some of those Latin American cities are. Birth rates & immigration are low, and their national populations are already mostly urbanized. Is internal migration from less-desirable cities driving the growth in places like Monterrey and Guadalajara?

Mexican urban growth has increased, after slowing down in past decades. I think a major factor is the deteriorating security situation in rural areas.

My in-laws moved from Mexico City to a rural town nearby, in part for "safety", 15 years ago. Now they're thinking of moving back, again in part for "safety". Unlike perceptions in the U.S., in Mexico the rural areas are now stereotyped as crime-ridden hellholes and the biggest cities are the safest.

I could see Bogota's population growing faster, given that Venezuela is emptying out, and Colombia is the biggest beneficiary.

The Mexican Big Three (Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey) are now stereotyped as safest for middle class people, and rural areas are now stereotyped as lawless, with drug warlords controlling most public services. Not sure ether stereotype is rooted in reality, however.

So it's likely that middle class Mexicans have reversed their migration patterns from the 90's and 00's, when they were fleeing the biggest cities.

Specifically about Mexico, their TFR is way above Brazil and only now they're around 2.0 whereas that happened in Brazil 20 years ago.

Brazil had also a a more complete network of metropolitan areas, more similar to the US, while Mexico is only now reinforcing theirs. Monterrey and Guadalajara seemed to have a critical mass and became powerful magnets on their own. A smaller Mexican immigration to the US might have helped too.

About South America, Peru is still making its transition, while Colombia and Chile just did. I'll expect a healthy growth for them for while, specially for Lima that will probably overtake Rio de Janeiro by the mid-2030's or so.

Colombia would profit more from the Venezuelan exodus, but their birth rates collapse fast, with the Census numbers coming way below the Estimates.
