A lot of US cities have big metros but small populations, for example the twin cities and atlanta both have metros over 3 million but the actual city limits of atlanta, minneapolis, and st. paul only have 3-400,000
I'll give you credit for showing Washington, D.C.'s real downton skyline, instead of the Capitol building, Washington Monument etc. that every other image centers on.
Yes true. If DC had a skyline (closest thing is Rosslyn in No Va.) Notice tho that the mall and monuments, museums, Wash Monument are not there? Google Earth drives me crazy with this. There are many cities that for some reason, parts are darkened, or there’s no 3D view. I’d love to look on some of the big skyscraper cities like Shanghai in 3D but, sorry.
Always wondered why Raleigh-Durham was split (they are closer to each other than either of the 3 or 4 duplex metros mentioned) and the actual metro area is much higher on the list…
It's for racial reasons. Durham historically has been a black city for many years while Raleigh is a white city. This is why both have never been linked together.
@@doctorx1924 No, this is not why, while durham has always been more diverse, both cities are still white by majority. Durham, especially during the 80s and 90s, was seen as a lower class city than Raleigh, they are also incredibly culturally different and have some minor rivalries. It's not racially motivated, it just wouldnt make any sense, they are too different.
The only way they can be considered together is if over 40% of the population from each city commute from one to the other. So you need 40% of people living in Raleigh to work in Durham, and vice-versa. Doesn't matter how close they are
Cities like NYC and Atlanta have a lot in their CSA definition (it takes 3.5-4 hours to drive from one edge of the CSA to the other edge in both cities)
They did.It is part of the Raleigh metro. Each and every town is not listed in metro area. It is akin to having issue that, for example, San Jose is not listed as San Jose-Santa Clara-Mountain View-Palo Alto-Sunnyvale. It is just San Jose. Sorry Durham was not specifically called out. Silly North Carolinians!

Interesting how you think some cities are much bigger than others, but a big chunk of them are relatively close. Population really starts jumping in the top 15.
Really stupid to do the "A" and "B". Just call it Dallas/Fort Worth or Tampa/St Pete. Several Metro Areas have more than one major city in them. What's even more ridiculous is you you did that with several cities, but not New York/Jersey City/Newark.

Same as if you merged Metro Boston with metro Hartford and Providence you’d have 6.72 million…and they are all about the same distance away from each other as Tampa to Lakeland.
This is not accurate, because really what you’re looking at are urban areas. For instance, San Jose is clearly part of the combined urban area of San Francisco and Oakland. And Cleveland is actually part of a larger combined urban area with Akron. These are just two examples.
This would be easier to just read on a list. There's no explanation or even any dialogue beyond the name of the city. Followed by a few seconds of needless music and erial footage of the area.
This confuses me San Francisco San Jose and Oakland are all part of one metro area THE RANK IS BACKWARDS oakland bigger than sfo and San Jose yet having a population of 435k compared to 822k in San Francisco and 1.1 million in San Jose

Atlanta proper (city limits) is a little over 1 million people. The other 5+ million are in the suburbs which traditionally has always been part of the metro area. These rankings look similar to the CSA’s which is more accurate and encompassing of the real metro areas.

These numbers are not correct, sorry. For example, the population of San Francisco proper is about 875,000, not 4.5 million; that would be for the entire bays Area including San Jose, Oakland, etc. San Jose is larger than San Francisco or Oakland.
@@jpt7342 No they aren’t; the San Francisco numbers he quotes would have to include both Oakland and San Jose to get that number, and then he also lists Oakland and San Jose separately, with Oakland also having the wrong “metro” population number. The 1.99M number for San Jose is also a bit too high but at least it’s closer and not double-counting the whole Bay Area.
Too bad they’re going to run out of water in 20 years. Climate change is going to raise Hell with the Sun Belt pretty soon. That’s the problem with overbuilding in desert areas. Large scale sprawl is unsustainable in the long term.
Largest metro areas in the US by difference: •Single state: Greater Los Angeles (Los Angeles and Orange Counties only) •Bi-state: Greater Boston (notice that 2 southeastern counties of New Hampshire are part of the metro area) •Tri-state: Metropolitan New York City (Southeastern New York State, Northern New Jersey and Pike County PA only) •Quad state: Delaware Valley/Metropolitan Philadelphia (only quad state area in the US) (note that DC's area isn't quad state, but a tri-state area and DC itself is a fedarate and city, not a state) •Single county: San Diego County, CA (Metropolitan San Diego) •Bi-county: Greater Los Angeles (Los Angeles and Orange Counties only) •Tri-county: Metropolitan Miami (Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties only) •With two core cities: Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex •With three core cities: Hampton Roads (ft. Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Newport News) •With the most counties: Metropolitan Atlanta (29 counties in Georgia form that metro area) Note: All metro areas in the US are based on counties.
NYC metro covers much of CT too, so four states, not three. Chicago metro would be largest with three different states as result, NYC #1 for four. Metro Philly not only four state
NY Metro includes Connecticut way more than it does PA. To include Pennsylvania in NYC Metro you have to stretch your imagination. Where, and how, is anything in PA considered even remotely the suburbs of NYC? That part of PA is all mountains and it's 80 miles from the city.
@@hyzercreek, Connecticut have 3 counties and each have different metro areas and are part of the CSA of NYC. The most populous and closest county in CT near NYC is Fairfield County, CT. You know, where Bridgeport, Danbury, and their suburbs are located. Fairfield County, CT is what I call Metropolitan Bridgeport and Danbury.
CSAs tell the real story and change many of these cities up. Also in CSAs they put places like San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland, Boston/Providence and DC/Baltimore together giving San Francisco and DC around 10 million each and Boston over 8 million. Also like others saying Tampa/Orlando and San Antonio/Austin should be together to me then Cincinnati/Dayton should combine and hell maybe even Louisville/Lexington.
DC and Baltimore have to totally different metro areas, DC Metro does not operate in Baltimore, The only way you can get to Bmore from DC is by car or Amtrak, two totally different cultures

Exactly. If you read "news", they make it sound like it's a ghost town. I think just some areas of it have lost population. If it had kept going from where it was in the 50's it would be comparable to Chicago by now though.

This isn't metro areas, this is cities, there's a difference. Metro areas include all suburbs.
This is metro areas for example Houston has a population of 2.4 million but add all the suburbs and it’s 7 million

Cool but not entirely accurate
It’s literally from the census bureau, how is it not accurate?
@@jpt7342 35, 12a and 12b should be all together and the population should be closer 7.5 rather than 6.7
@@juangilberto1979 According to the Wikipedia page for metropolitan statistical areas, San Jose is counted separately from SF-Oakland.
This is in accordance with the census bureau.
The entire Bay Area is counted together for combined statistical areas and a total of 9.7 million.
CT has two on the list - Hartford and NYC.
Yes Fairfield county CT is part of the New York City metropolitan area.

Houston is bigger than Dallas. This is wrong. Philly is also larger than Dallas.
Hahaha bro, take a look at the maps😂 Dallas is the 4th largest metro area “DFW”
DFW is way larger than Houston metro area more people combined. Houston ALONE is bigger than Dallas ALONE. That’s why the video showing metro areas 🤦🏻♂️
