Largest metropolitan area without an x0 or x5 Interstate

[thspfc]

Orlando and Milwaukee were the ones that came to mind for me.

[hotdogPi]

Going down the list, it's Orlando.

Metro areas with populations > 1M without I-x0 or I-x5s:

22   Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL MSA   2,673,376
35   San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA MSA   2,000,468
37   Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC MSA   1,799,674
40   Milwaukee-Waukesha, WI MSA   1,574,731
48   Hartford-East Hartford-Middletown, CT MSA   1,213,531 (the CSA has I-95)
52   Grand Rapids-Kentwood, MI MSA   1,087,592
54   Urban Honolulu, HI MSA   1,016,508
55   Tulsa, OK MSA   1,015,331
56   Fresno, CA MSA   1,008,654

San Jose has three x0 3di highways

55   Tulsa, OK MSA   1,015,331

I-40

56   Fresno, CA MSA   1,008,654

I-5

And the Hartford MSA has I-95 even before considering the CSA.

[Scott5114]

55   Tulsa, OK MSA   1,015,331

I-40

I don't give a damn what the Census Bureau says, I-40 in no way serves Tulsa.

[MikieTimT]

55   Tulsa, OK MSA   1,015,331

I-40

I don't give a damn what the Census Bureau says, I-40 in no way serves Tulsa.

Tulsa itself, kind of a stretch.  Tulsa MSA, since they're including Okmulgee County in it, apparently so.

[Max Rockatansky]

55   Tulsa, OK MSA   1,015,331

I-40

56   Fresno, CA MSA   1,008,654

I-5

And the Hartford MSA has I-95 even before considering the CSA.

I-5 definitely does not directly serve the Fresno Area.  I would argue I-95 and I-75 more indirectly serve Orlando than I-5 does Fresno.

55   Tulsa, OK MSA   1,015,331

I-40

56   Fresno, CA MSA   1,008,654

I-5

And the Hartford MSA has I-95 even before considering the CSA.

In what universe, now?

[Scott5114]

55   Tulsa, OK MSA   1,015,331

I-40

I don't give a damn what the Census Bureau says, I-40 in no way serves Tulsa.

Tulsa itself, kind of a stretch.  Tulsa MSA, since they're including Okmulgee County in it, apparently so.

I'd say including that part of Okmulgee County is kind of a stretch. I think Henryetta's existence is tied more to I-40 than it is to Tulsa. Other places further north in Okmulgee County make more sense to be included as part of the Tulsa MSA.

Pittsburgh could have either 0, 1 or 2 x0s, depending on who you ask.

[mukade]

I had Pittsburgh in my original list, but when you look at a map, I-70 clearly goes through the metro area.

I-70 arguably does, I-80 obviously does not.

[bing101]

Honolulu, Hi is one of them.


All of their interstates are H1, H2, H3 designation.


Boise, ID because its main interstate is I-84.


Montpelier, VT is another one where I-89 is the major route in the area.

Charleston, WV has I-64, I-77, and I-79

Honorable mentions:

Fargo/Moorhead
Boise

[SkyPesos]

On a side note, what would be the smallest with both a x0 and x5?

Cove Fort, maybe?

The site has no permanent population, so that's arguably it.

Cities with under 20K:

Buffalo, WY (25/90; under 5K population)
Lake City (10/75)
Albert Lea (35/90)

[Flint1979]

55   Tulsa, OK MSA   1,015,331

I-40

56   Fresno, CA MSA   1,008,654

I-5

And the Hartford MSA has I-95 even before considering the CSA.

Neither one serves Tulsa or Fresno.

52   Grand Rapids-Kentwood, MI MSA   1,087,592

Why is it called Grand Rapids-Kentwood when Wyoming has a population 50% greater than Kentwood?

[NWI_Irish96]

Metro areas with populations > 1M without I-x0 or I-x5s:

40   Milwaukee-Waukesha, WI MSA   1,574,731

I-94 is not technically an x0, but it functions like one.

I-94 is not technically an x0, but it functions like one.

It's like the actual I-90, since there is no interstate 50 or 60.

Not sure but Wyoming is included as a principal city in the GR metro area.

Tulsa and Fresno are good examples of how the definition of core-based statistical area (by using only county or county-equivalent lines) is flawed. But those are nowhere near those of Denver-Aurora-Lakewood (which extends all the way to just outside Limon) or Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario (which includes far flung communities like Needles or Blythe, which in no way can be considered part of the Inland Empire). The latter could be better defined by using the boundaries of NWS San Diego's county warning area, which includes the truly urban parts of San Bernardino and Riverside counties.

If we are talking populated places, how about LaPlace Louisiana for I 10 and I 55. Or Lake City Florida for I 10 and I 75.

Some other cities without an x5 or x0...
Wait. Question. Is it cities without either or without one of the two?

Exactly, I-5 hits Fresno County but doesn't touch any major communities much less has a sphere of influence on traffic to the City of Fresno. Most people who use I-5 out of Fresno aren't even going hit it until Wheeler Ridge or Sacramento.

I-94 is not technically an x0, but it functions like one.

Then you have I-45 that doesn't act like it should an is an intrastate serving two major Texas Metro Areas.
