Think those 2 still belong to Bmore per the census....I think you could take half of the population of those counties and give to DC but some portions are definitely still all Bmore...giving DC all of those counties would misrepresent reality...DMV is a very evenly split metro

There are a ton of people who commute from Howard county to Silver Spring and D.C via route 29. Crofton in AAC is IMO more of a suburb of D.C than Baltimore. I think Howard and AAC belong to both metros. Hartford county clearly doesn't. Keep in mind Spotsylvania county VA is part of the D.C metro and is further away than any part of those two counties.

After crunching the 2010 census numbers (rounding to the nearest thousand), here's what I got for DC:

Virginia counties/cities: 2.71 million (47.7%)

Maryland counties: 2.311 million (40.7%)

Washington DC: 602k (10.6%)

West Virginia county: 53k (0.9%)

Total: 5.676 million (99.9%)

I'm assuming the Maryland side in that study includes. Montgomery county, Prince George's county, Charles county and Calvart County.

The NJ population of the NYC metro would be one of the larger metros in the US all by itself


NJ has like 8 million people in either the NYC or Philly metros that are satellites of sorts

What "study"?

He said 2010 Census, which means (s)he included any MD counties that were included in DC's metro area as of 2010---not the counties "that were with Baltimore's MSA in 2010 but should have been with DC's MSA in 2010 because I said so."

Crofton is closer to D.C than Mananas and Columbia is about the same distance. If you include those two areas it's almost dead even with a razor thin edge to Maryland.

Those counties were included along with Frederick County, MD.

DC, KC, and perhaps Memphis which I think is unique because the metro is split between 3 states with Tennessee having the lion’s share of course.

There are a lot of people I’ve met that live in Mississippi that live outside of Memphis metro that commute to work at the Fedex hub I’ve noticed.
