4. Houston: 2,316,120 / MSA: #5. 7,154,478
5. Phoenix: 1,708,127 / MSA: #10. 5,059,909

10. San Jose: 1,013,616 /
CSA: 9,608,006
That is the second YOY decline in estimates from 2018 peak of 1,034,877 for San Jose.
... 11. Austin: 995,484
... 12. Fort Worth: 927,720 / MSA: #4. see above / MSA Division: 2,522,204
... 13. Jacksonville: 920,570
The metropolitan areas for the others are significantly smaller at 3,332,427 (San Diego, #17), 2,590,732 (San Antonio, #24), 2,295,303 (Austin, #29), and 1,971,161 (San Jose, #35). All these are the same rank as prior. A notable shift is that Vegas metro has surpassed Pittsburgh metro, switching numbers 27 and 28. Austin is just behind that, while Nashville metro is poised to overtake San Jose. Jacksonville metro brings up the rear at #39, outgrowing Milwaukee metro: 1,587,892.
As far as city propers, Jacksonville has been outgrown by Fort Worth in the last year. Ha. So many jokes. Austin is poised to overtake San Jose as the most populated tech city, Dallas is poised to leapfrog San Diego, and San Antonio is poised to leapfrog Philadelphia. How long until Houston overtakes Chicago? Until Fort Worth overtakes San Jose? That’s some major advancement for a selection of cities all in one state at the same time.
5 of the 13 American municipalities which are already at or could plausibly soon reach one million are in Texas alone and another 3 are in California (with a smattering of more Texan and Californian cities scattered throughout the list of largest municipalities just beneath that). When metro areas and cities are viewed in composite like above, both California and Texas stand out even more.
Here are the populations of some other major metropolitan areas (up to 13, like I did with cities):
#6. Washington: 6,324,629 / City: #20. 712,816
#7. Miami: 6,173,008 / City: #42. 471,525
#9. Atlanta: 6,087,762 / City: #37. 512,550
#11. Boston: 4,878,211 / City: #21. 691,531
#12. San Francisco: 4,696,902 / City: #17. 866,606 / CSA: 9,608,006
#13. Inland Empire: 4,678,371
These metro areas retain the same rank, but there is some churn for their anchor cities: Indianapolis (#16, 887,756) has grown larger than San Francisco but not Charlotte (#15, 900,350). Atlanta is nipping on the heels of Sacramento (#36, 512,818). No one city in Inland Empire predominates, although Riverside is first among equals (#58, 330,786).
Feel free to add more detail. Seattle, Detroit, Twin Cities, etc.
