The metrics need to be taken together. 100K going to NYC is still more than 90K going to Knoxville unless somehow we devalue humans moving to already large cities.
Percent alone is a misleading statistic.

As long as you understand the concept of growth rate it shouldn't be misleading at all. That's why I stressed that it was growth rate in the OP. It's a perfectly valid measurement and so is real population growth. They're just used to show us different things.

Why? Once a city is deemed large the percentages mean more than the actual numbers. NYC could absorb 100k and most people wouldn't notice. It would change a lot of things about daily life in Knoxville.
