To determine America's Downsized Cities, Forbes used 2008 population estimates for the 125 largest metropolitan statistical areas in the U.S., released Thursday by the Census Bureau. They compared those estimates with 2007 population estimates to determine the percent change year-over-year. Then, they looked at the percent change in population from 2000 to 2007. We combined those two rankings--weighting down the more relevant 2007-2008 percent change -- for a final ranking.
