using your formula and (assuming the numbers you posted are correct):
( 1 - 2158643/2171896) * 100 = 0.6% (not 2.6%)
Who really knows what is going to happen?

I made a mistake. Instead of calculating the numbers myself, I eyeballed them from the spreadsheets posted on the census website and instead glanced at the Clarksville growth rate... Good catch. I concede. Using this method, San Antonio would definitely surpass Cincinnati and therefore attain the 24th position.
However, it would probably be better to strike a balance between this method and the first method so as to account for a rebound in population growth in multiple places.
