What isn't noted in most of the articles about the new census data:

Austin is the fastest growing "large" metro (>1m) in the country.

If you look at the top 10, everything growing at a faster rate than Austin are smaller metros. So despite the bigger rates (in smaller cities), and larger raw numbers (in much bigger metros), Austin is technically the fastest growing major city in the country. Which is certainly what it feels like.
