Talk to JBCHM, he is insistent that Milwaukee and Nashville are Indy's peer cities. I've since restructured my list so that I'm only comparing Indianapolis to larger cities that it still outperforms. I realize Nashville and Milwaukee are considerably smaller so I am not surprised their GDP is a lot less.
In terms of metro size, they are. I think the other poster's point was that you have repeatedly said that Indy is beating all these places that are larger in population, but these are not larger.
BTW, for all the homers here, I never actually saw any of you try to answer the question, either. Guess it was just too much of a foregone conclusion to even bother.

I do not believe you did either, just complained about the given topic.
I mentioned a few pages back why I didn't answer..........because I don't care. I stumbled into this thread for the same reason I stumble into most threads in the "city v city" forum, bored at work.

At least you admit that you never truly tried to answer the question.

Nashville is. You can do whatever you want to do, and say whatever you want to say, they are peers and that's not going to change anytime soon.

Nashvile MSA 2014: 1.8 million
Clarksville, TN MSA 2014: 280,000 at only 35 miles way from the Nashville city limits.
Milwaukee MSA: 1.5 million
Indianapolis MSA: 1.9 million
Nashville is growing nearly twice as fast as Indianapolis, annually.

He didn't included them because Indy's GDP is $25.5 billion more than Nashville and $32 billion more than Milwaukee. If you want to insist they are peer cities then Indy is outperforming them economically by a sizeable margin.

Wrong.
Nashville MSA: 1.7 million
Nashville CSA: 1.8 million
I focused on cities that are bigger than Indianapolis in population, not smaller. If I wanted to include cities like Nashville it serves mainly as an embarrassment to their city.
Indianapolis GDP: 126 billion
Nashville GDP: 100 billion

If you want to get nit-picky about the statistics, Nashville's MSA is 1.792 million, which rounds to 1.8 million. Nashville's CSA is 1.912 million.
I really don't give a crap about this whole argument, but if you are going to be an a-hole to someone about statistics, please do us all a favor and actually get them right.

So Nashville is only a fraction smaller than Indianapolis but over $24 billion less in GDP output. Thanks for contributing your part.
I think a good portion of Nashville's metro growth has been through annexing more counties to its metropolitan area. 7,484 square miles for Nashville MSA vs 5,940 square miles for Indianapolis MSA. Not as impressive when you compare how much larger in land Nashville is.
You may want to consider updating Nashville's wikipedia page. It's showing 1.757 million for metro and 1.876 million for the CSA. So no, my stats aren't off. You're just using a different set of estimates.
