Texas once again dominates the growth charts. Actual number of people added in 2016 in the previous year:

1. Dallas-Ft. Worth- +143,435
2. Houston- +125,005
3. Phoenix- +93,680
4. Atlanta- +90,650
5. Seattle- +71,805
6. Miami- +64,670
7. Tampa- +61,085
8. Orlando- +59,125
9. Austin- +58,301
10. Washington- +53,508
11. Riverside- +52,400
12. Charlotte- +49,671
13. San Antonio- +47,906

Florida is also impressive. The Big 4 Metros (Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville) combined to add 215,000 to their metros in just the last year.

As impressive as that is, the Big 4 Texas Metros (Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin) combined to add a whopping 375,000 people in just one year.
