How is Memphis on the list when Nashville is growing much, much faster? Also, where's Charlotte or Raleigh? Seems like there are some places missing.

You should explain the criteria of your source. For example, list a population cut off. Raleigh-Durham is over 1 million people and growing at a much faster rate than every city on this list. Tell us the population limit ahead of time. Right now it looks like roughly 1.7 million.

Agreed with JRL. Only metros of a certain size were figured into this quiz. That should be indicated in the title. We all know there are many, many smaller metros that are growing faster than Boston, Chicago and SF.

I think Chicago is declining in population.
