Reaching America's largest cities and metro areas from your state

[SkyPesos]

Louisville is bigger than Cincinnati? Cincy's not on the top 50 list? Both of those surprise me. I wonder how much of Louisville's population was gained with the city merged with Jefferson County.

Lexington's city proper population is larger than Cincinnati's too (323k vs 304k with 2019 estimates). And from the 2000 census (before the county merge), Louisville had a population of 256k.

You can see the large difference between city proper and metro population placement for a lot of Midwest/Northeast cities. Examples (2019 estimates):
St Louis: City proper population rank: 65, Metro population rank: 20
Pittsburgh: City proper population rank: 66, Metro population rank: 27
Cincinnati: City proper population rank: 64, Metro population rank: 30
Cleveland: City proper population rank: 53, Metro population rank: 34
Providence: City proper population rank: 143, Metro population rank: 38
Hartford: City proper population rank: 230, Metro population rank: 48
Buffalo: City proper population rank: 86, Metro population rank: 49

Vermont by cities: Boston (I-93)

Vermont by metros: Boston and Hartford (I-91/US 5), since the NYC MSA does not include CT. I'd consider the end of US 7 to be in the colloquially defined NYC metro area, though.

Yeah.  Had to do some cross-referencing.  Wilmington is part of Philadelphia but Provo isn't part of Salt Lake nor is Dayton part of Cincinnati.

I had to check myself on some of those too. Besides Provo and SLC, some combinations I thought were a single metro but really aren't are DC/Baltimore, Raleigh/Durham, Greensboro/Winston-Salem, San Francisco/San Jose, Los Angeles/Inland Empire, Cleveland/Akron. Most of those I listed are a single combined statistical area though.

can't we do both in this thread and specify whether it's for a city or metro, like what some of us are doing here?

How about this...I changed the title of this thread. We can do both here as long as everyone tries to do both lists, and specifies which is which.

Yeah, the Census Bureau's inconsistency about what gets counted as one metro and what doesn't is really annoying. Because city proper isn't such a great measurement (some cities have annexed a lot of their suburbs, others have not), metro area should be a way to normalize those differences...but that doesn't work when some areas are held to different seemingly arbitrary standards. Seattle-Tacoma gets to be one metro but San Francisco-San Jose and Salt Lake City-Ogden-Provo don't? I don't get it. And some MSAs are a lot bigger area-wise than they should be in my opinion - as far as I'm concerned Heard County, GA has no business being in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

CSAs can work for this, but in a lot of cases they tend to be too big. Pahrump and Kingman, Arizona shouldn't figure into calculating the size of the Las Vegas metro, for example. 

In my opinion the concept of one MSA with several "metropolitan divisions" that they use to split Seattle-Tacoma should be more widespread for some of these multi-core urban areas.

I agree with everything you said.  I think using whole counties as the default for boundaries is crazy.  To your point, the whole of Mohave County, AZ shouldn't be "Vegas".  If you live just over the Hoover Dam, then that's a different story.  For Colorado, the southernmost cities in Weld County should be part of the Denver metro (and so should Boulder as an aside), but gets included with Greeley even though if you live in town like Erie you're probably 20-25 miles closer to Denver.

Using whole counties more or less works in the county-dense eastern and midwestern US, but the whole concept falls flat on its face in the West where counties are much bigger.

My favorite example of this is comparing Wendover, Utah (in the Salt Lake City MSA) to North Salt Lake (not in the Salt Lake City MSA). Wendover is 120 miles from Salt Lake and almost 100 miles from any sort of other population in Utah, but it's in the huge Tooele County. North Salt Lake is right in the middle of the Wasatch Front urban corridor and even borders Salt Lake City ... but it happens to be in Davis County and so it gets counted in the Ogden metro instead.

So, as a Census employee let me clear a couple things up.

First, OMB defines the metro areas, not us, though they are obviously using our data to do it

Secondly, a big part of what determines whether a smaller city gets its own metro area or gets included with a nearby city is the percentage of people who commute to the larger city for work. Provo having BYU probably means a lot more people work locally and fewer commute to Salt Lake than you might normally find in similarly situated cities. Now, with the increase in remote work, I wonder if the commuting factor might be reduced or possibly eliminated in the not-too-distant future

Thirdly, entire counties need to be counted the same way because there is not enough consistency in how states subdivide their counties to be able to split them, and I think there are some states that don't subdivide their counties so for people who live outside of a municipality there isn't any smaller area for which we tabulate data.

[hotdogPi]

As a census employee, I have a question for you: why are the cities in Massachusetts that are generally referred to as towns called "X Town", such as "Amesbury Town", "Barnstable Town", "Methuen Town", and a few others? Nobody uses that wording (not even in official settings or legal documents); they're just called Amesbury, Barnstable, and Methuen, even if people think of them as towns instead of cities.

North Salt Lake is right in the middle of the Wasatch Front urban corridor and even borders Salt Lake City ... but it happens to be in Davis County and so it gets counted in the Ogden metro instead.

It falls on its face from a geographic standpoint, because you end up with large areas of countryside that aren't particularly close to the metro area. But from a population standpoint, those areas tend to be so sparsely populated that it doesn't matter. Case in point: the total population of Tooele County is ~58,000 (that's as of 2010, so let's say 70,000 just to be safe). Subtract that from the total SLC metro population, and it hardly budges in the rankings, falling just one spot (below #48 Hartford, but still ahead of #49 Buffalo).

I made a very similar point about the OKC metro area upthread (quote below):

My point wasn't that most of Grady County is suburban - clearly that's not the case - it was more that the county's total population of ~53,000 isn't enough to dramatically shift OKC's place in the MSA rankings in one direction or another. Take out Grady County, and OKC falls exactly one spot in the rankings - behind #42 Raleigh but still ahead of #43 Memphis.

That's nothing compared to the discrepancies caused by the city annexation issue, which causes monstrous shifts, such as El Paso going from the #22 city to the #69 metro, and Jacksonville going from the #12 city to the #40 metro.

Nobody uses that wording (not even in official settings or legal documents); they're just called Amesbury, Barnstable, and Methuen, even if people think of them as towns instead of cities.

Because there are a lot of places with two different levels of geography carrying the same name, in all of our data products, every level of geography below the state level carries a label, such as county, parrish, township, city, town, village. In your area this may not be an issue, but I need to know if I'm looking at data for Elkhart County or Elkhart City, for example, even though nobody calls it Elkhart City.

[hotdogPi]

In this list, #213 is listed as "Barnstable Town". None of the others do except for "Boise City", ID (#78).

The cities in Massachusetts I'm referring to are a specific set of 14, plus Amesbury (changed in 2011): look here, and they're the ones with citation #4: the ones that are actually cities but are commonly referred to as towns. These erroneous names have made it into other sources, such as the game locatestreet (which no longer exists), where you have to guess which of four locations a specific street view location is in, and these 15 out of 351 have "Town" appended.

Again, that is an OMB list and not Census, so I can't speak to why only those two are listed like that. If you are browsing census data, every municipality will have city/town/village after it.

As to the Massachusetts issue, your state's website explains it this way: There are fourteen communities that have applied for, and been granted, city forms of government, though they wish to be known as "The Town of" .
