Same pattern: explosive growth all over the Downtown and Midtown axis, much faster than either the city or metro area. It's not intense as Miami, be it in terms of density of growth, but it definitely became a busy urban hub.
For definition, I used 5 census-tracts for Downtown and 10 tracts for Midtown.
