Damn, The Knoxville Metro is catching up to the New Orleans metro. That's wild for what used to be Louisiana's crown jewel.
The hurricanes were obviously a big part, but leadership in that city and state are infamous nation wide for how inept and corrupt they are. I guess I shouldn't be that surprised

They must be counting a pretty wide area as part of "New Orleans". Orleans Parish (which is actually New Orleans) has less than 400,000 people.

Nashville seems to get by far the most press about their growth over the past couple decades, and it for sure has boomed. But there are many other metros in the South growing at much faster rates.
Of these 31 Southern metros with at least 750,000 people, here are the Top 10 in numerical growth 2020-2022:
1. Dallas: +306,000
2. Houston: +219,000
3. Austin: +138,000
4. Atlanta: +133,000
5. Tampa: +116,000
6. San Antonio: +97,000
7. Charlotte: +96,000
8. Orlando: +91,000
9. Raleigh: +70,000
10. Jacksonville: +70,000
Nashville is 12th on this list.
Here are the Top 10 in %Growth 2020-2022:
1. Lakeland, FL (+8.60%)
2. Fort Myers, FL (+8.10%)
3. Sarasota, FL (+6.92%)
4. Austin (+6.03%)
5. Raleigh (+4.98%)
6. Jacksonville (+4.35%)
7. Dallas (+4.01%)
8. Charleston (+3.86%)
9. San Antonio (+3.80%)
10. Tampa (+3.64%)
Nashville is actually just 16th on this list.
Bottomline, most of the Southeast is absolutely booming economically and in terms of population growth.
Of these 31 large metros, only three have seen their populations decline since 2020: Memphis (-5,600), St. Louis (-19,000), and New Orleans (-34,000).

STL would be larger than it is had the dumb dumbs in the city not divorced from the county in 1876.
