Actually, some of those numbers look totally off. Over half a million in growth for Charlotte?

Someone over at the SSG was smoking something fierce. I cannot find a single number on that list which would even come close to being consistent with Census Bureau estimates (even though 2015 estimates will not be released until late spring 2016).
Example: Charlotte from April 1, 2010 census to July 1, 2014 grew by an estimated 163,302. Austin by 227,010. San Antonio by 186,144. There is no way on God's great earth that Charlotte grew by 560,000 (a ~25% increase in population) in four years!
Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles and New York were the only "Metropolitan Statistical Areas" which saw an estimated growth in excess of 400,000 (none above 570,000) from the census through July 1, 2014.
