It's worth noting that Atlanta's ITP covers a much larger land area than Houston's 610 Loop - almost 250 square miles compared to 73 square miles, respectively. So because Atlanta is a less dense city, a certain amount of growth per square mile will result in a higher % growth, due to the smaller base population. The growth per square mile in Atlanta and Houston is similar, although perhaps with a slight edge to Atlanta.
