Take Toronto as an example. The number of people it has grown by every year has been pretty consistent from when it was 1 to 2 million to now in the 5 to 6 million range. It comes from the majority of our nation's growth being through a fixed immigration number. Percentage growth is a misrepresentation expanded over a longer term. It will not maintain itself as a community's base population increases. I just don't see any metro in the 200 to 500,000 adding 1 to 5000 people a year joining the uppermost tier of metros that are adding several times more than number even if their current growth rate is significantly higher.
