To Prove that I am a Population Nerd:

Beginning with the last 16 cities, I re-calculated the numbers for the 2010 census assuming all the cities grew by the same numbers from the 2000-06 period. This is what the CMA's would look like:

21. Sacramento: 2,480,822...up 1 rank.

22. Charlotte: 2,474,529....up 1 rank.
23. Pittsburg: 2,401,153....down 2.
24. Orlando: 2,397,169...up 2.
25. Portland: 2,338,801......same rank.
26. Cincinatti: 2,239,939...down 2.
27. Las Vegas: 2,214,159...up 4 ranks.
28. San Antonio: 2,164,968....up 2.
29. Kansas City: 2,161,423....down 2.
30. Indianappolis: 2,119,404...down 2.
31. Columbus: 2,065, 411...down 2 ranks.
The US Census Bureau always shortchanges California much more than other states, so the California Dept. of Finance as their own figures for California cities. This is where SAC really should be: same rank, but close to 100,000 above Charlotte than 6,000.

20. Cleveland: 2,888,582...down 2 ranks.
21. Sacramento: 2,560,812.....based on Cal. Dept. of Finace estimates......up 1 rank.
22. Charlotte: 2,474,529....up 1.
23. Pittsburg: 2,401,153....down 2.
24. Orlando: 2,397,169...up 2.
25. Portland: 2,338,801......same rank.
26. Cincinatti: 2,239,939...down 2.
27. Las Vegas: 2,214,159...up 4 ranks.
28. San Antonio: 2,164,968....up 2.
29. Kansas City: 2,161,423....down 2.
30. Indianappolis: 2,119,404...down 2.
31. Columbus: 2,065, 411...down 2 ranks.
