If growth continues in every metropolitan area at the exact same pace as the previous 9 years over the next 9 years (an unlikely event), San Antonio will be the 25th largest metropolitan area in 2018. It would have surpassed only three metropolitan areas: Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. At the same time though, it would have been outgrown by Las Vegas.

Addendum: In my calculations, I consolidated Riverside with L.A. (yielding San Antonio an 'additional' +1 jump).

Poor Pittsburgh, it gets surpassed by no less than NINE metropolitan areas in the space of NINE years! It would get surpassed by Portland, Cincinnati, Sacramento, Orlando, San Antonio, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Charlotte, and Austin.
