Hartford has a smaller urban area than Louisville despite a larger land area....that's because Louisville is the bigger city.
I believe that Hartfords UA pushes up against New haven and Springfield so they sort of canabiloze each other, Hartford has a ton of people around that aren't statistically counted, as does Buffalo because of the border, but Louisville does not

lol how do you figure? Louisville's CSA is 500k larger than its UA....there are many many towns of 20k or so that are 5 or 6 miles outside the UA...places like La Grange, Shelbyville KY, Scottsburg, IN, Shepherdsville, KY....very much look and feel like bedroom communities to Louisville.

New Haven and Springfield are both Metros between 6-800,000 immediately adjacent to Hartford, you see 17 miles North of Hartford and 13-14 miles south is not in the Metro.
and then Buffalo has probably 300,000 people that don't count because the US census doesn't count Canadians.

I see what you mean but Louisville’s suburbs are under 30 mins to Cincinnati and Lexington burbs..

Is Hartford the "wealthiest?" Or is it just the cost of living is higher? It's an apples to oranges comparison.
I contend the latter. I am far richer on 45k in Louisville (or Buffalo) than I am on 75k in Hartford....everything in Louisville is cheaper from my sales tax to my fast food, to my car, to my home and healthcare. It's all relative.
As a Hartford resident, this is sad but was expected. If we included the entire metro area of all the 3, it would be closer. No one has mentioned that Hartford is only 18 square miles so it's missing out on what other surrounding cities have to offer. Hartford has huge potential, but the mismanagement, corruption, and bad development decisions over the past 30 years have made it difficult for the city to progress further. It is most definitely not the city it once was before the 1960's. It used to be a very beautiful city, but lack of incentives for development in outer neighborhoods have caused it to have a negative message especially for people in the suburbs. We have improved but there's a long way to go. Downtown has been the biggest money grabber because of all the major corporation (Aetna, UTC *now in Farmington, CT*, Travelers, Prudential Retirement, Virtus, The Hartford, United Healthcare, etc) I'm surprised that businesses have stayed in the city for so long. There are so many industries that have left Northeastern US Cities our size, but we've kept our name as a economic powerhouse in the region.
So, if included, the population goes up to about 1.6-1.7 million, if added to the current MSA figures.
Yeah but it gets to a point where it's more Hamilton than Buffalo.
