Over the next 30 years, 19 metropolitan areas in America will pass the one million population threshold, according to a new report [PDF] from IHS Global Insight for the U.S. Conference of Mayors. By 2042, 70 metros will be members of the million-plus club. These will account for nearly 213 million people in 2042, more than half of the Census Bureau's estimated 2040 population [PDF] of roughly 392 million.
Here's a list, ranked by the percent of growth they're expected to hit in the next three decades.
