Is this so hard to figure out?

Dispatch:

…metropolitan Indianapolis is growing faster and could soon overtake Columbus and central Ohio, according to U.S. Census figures released today.

Indianapolis had about 59,500 fewer people than Columbus. But from 2000 to 2006, it grew by 9.2 percent, compared with 7 percent for Columbus.

“Indy feels like a bigger town even though it is not as big,” said Angela Young, a dance instructor from Canal Winchester who has traveled there several times.

Columbus? steady growth compared with other Ohio cities has been a source of local pride. But it?s also a source of revenue when it comes to attracting business, conventions and tourists.

“I have been noticing that Indianapolis has grown a lot faster than we have,” said Bill LaFayette, vice president of economic analysis for the Greater Columbus Chamber of Commerce.

Of course the Dispatch is unable to connect the dots.
