sorted by numerical growth (or decline in the case of Scranton)
It's hard to comprehend how much growth LA has experienced. 10.3 million people!
With huge investments/improvements to their transit system underway and planned I have no doubt LA will increase density along the transit corridors. DTLA will continue to grow vertical as well. I'm bullish on LA.
It's one of my favorite Metros. Barring extreme effects of climate change and a mega earthquake, it will continue to grow for the foreseeable future.
Interesting how small the Metro growth has been in Buffalo and Pittsburgh in 8 decades. Even Providence grew by almost 1 Million.
The city of Buffalo, city of Cincinnati after decades of losses are growing again, yet somehow Pittsburgh (and Cleveland, Detroit, St. Louis) is still showing declines.
Minneapolis is the true sleeper Metro that's been consistently growing while most have paid no attention, outpacing even Boston.
Houston has had phenomenal growth. As has DFW (even though it didn't make the 1940 cut).
DC's growth is amazing but somewhat expected, being the center of government for 330+ Million people.
The growth of inner Toronto is hard to comprehend and mind boggling if viewing the highrise development thread. The fact that it's often spoken in the same breath as Chicago shows how far it's come.

We should compare the central city population compared to overall Metro population. Toronto is rare in that it's closer to 50/50 split.
Hartford has to be one of the worst with like 10/90 split
