To get a better guage of a 2 mile radius in downtown SF that is completely on land, I would use City Hall, located at 400 Van Ness Ave.

Here is the map at 1, 2, and 5 miles for 800 Mkt

Here are the 10, 25, and 50 mile markers for radius used for SF (note a lot of overlap with San Jose, including the city.)

Out of curiousity I did a 100 mile radius for

Boston 10.5 Million
NYC 29.8 Million
Philadelphia 29.6 Million
Baltimore 16.5 million
DC 12.4 Million

Actually closer than I would have thought for Philly and NYC but you can see the concentration of the center of the BOSWASH Corrider.

Hmmm, I would think that once you got out passed 50 miles for Houston that Dallas would have much more people. Where are those extra 2 million people coming from?

You may be right but there is definatley some incremental. I am estimating with 2000 to 2009 so could be like +/-5% on volume but that would still be less than 400K on those totals

but another way to think about it for perspective, would you assume that 50% of Texas population is within a hundred miles of either, if so the numbers actually make some sense.
