  • Countdown of the 60 metropolitan areas in the US with more than 1 million people. The 2020 Census data is finalized and I use that data to calculate the largest metro areas in the country, starting from 60 and going all the way to number 1.

    Hey guys. Massive error in the video. The image used to represent Greensboro NC is actually from Greensboro area in VA. Ouch. Even worse, I am in Greensboro NC right now typing this. I just posted my own photos from there on instagram a few minutes ago. A mistake like that is not good for the ol' reputation.

    Metro population is so much of a better measure than raw city population. Thank you for spreding more use of it!

    I gained even more respect for this guy when he flat out said he didn’t like Orlando. I’m happy to hear that. Those sprawling cities are awful

    Interesting how Honolulu is so much less populated relative to the other expensive US cities. Also, this video really makes me want a video on the areas you would consider to be current or future megalopolises!

    This was a relaxing respite having Kyle take me on a tour of the US metros.

    As a Brit I find it interesting how US metro areas can contain multiple cities and towns which look pretty much separate from my perspective. In the UK we rarely consider places to be part of the same urban area unless they are pretty much physically touching.

    Boston and Providence are already combined as a CSA with over 8.4 million people. The New York-Newark CSA has over 23.5 million. :) I'm a bit of a population geek myself and have been "studying" the metropolitan areas since I was a kid. The numbers of our metro areas vary due to whether one is talking about MSAs (metropolitan statistical areas) or CSAs (combined statistical areas) which combine metropolitan areas with the micropolitan areas around them. Metro areas can also change names based on their city populations. The Norfolk area is now the Virginia Beach area and the San Francisco area is now the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland area. :)

    I would LOVE if you did a video on future population potential for consolidated areas such as Providence-Boston, Nyc-Philly, Chicago-Milwaukee and include cities that were also already consolidated like DFW

    This was definitely worth watching. One of my favorite UA-cam channels. Every video is entertaining and informative. Keep it up, Kyle

    DFW resident here... although the northern suburban sprawl is incredible, it's not quite true that it reaches almost all the way to the Oklahoma state line (

    Thank you for recognizing Riverside/San Bernardino as part of LA Metro. Many don't realize just how many people travel between the two for work every day.

    Thanks Kyle, I love seeing videos like this that break down and ranks the true sizes of metro areas. An idea that could be fun in another video would be to add and rank the international population to some of these metros. It would be cool to see how cities like El Paso, San Diego and Detroit rank with their international, sister cities included.

    As a Utahn, I've always tried to explain the Salt Lake Metro Area, or more aptly the Wasatch Front Metro Area as many view the area as small in regards to population...but the area is actually pretty big and Kyle explained it pretty well. Salt Lake, like he said is relatively small in population and area, but when people refer to Salt Lake, they may rather be referring to the Salt Lake Valley, with over 1 Million People in the Valley.
