What other city/town is like Buffalo?

OK where do you get that data from?

According to the Census the MSA is 1,254,000, Buffalo proper is 271,000. How on Earth is that less than 20%?

WNY which was my reference, is the 8 county region we live in, it has approximately 1.6 million people thus the city limits contain approximately 17% of the regions total. These 8 counties plus McKean and Potter comprise the Buffalo Designated Market Area or DMA. BTW these are also the same 8 Counties that are contained in the Diocese of Buffalo.

Now it's DMA

I can't keep track of this anymore.

You can use any category you choose - by any measure even just considering Erie County alone, the City of Buffalo's population is dwarfed by the population outside of the city limits.
