I didn't realize Miami city and Raleigh were practically the same for population. cool!

That has less to do with the actual population of the city and more to do with North Carolina's liberal annexation laws.

In the percent of change, notice that Raleigh is the first "major" city in the list. Meaning that the other cities do not have the national status that Raleigh holds and that the others are smaller parts of a larger metro. Whereas, Raleigh is the central/largest city in its metro area.
