One county can only belong to one MSA; there's no sharing or splitting of counties, at least at this point.

Washington DC: 602k (10.6%)

West Virginia county: 53k (0.9%)

Total: 5.676 million (99.9%)

Here's what the DC urbanized area population looked like according to 2010 Census figures:

Looks about right compared with the figures above.

That's a weird map. If Waldorf isn't part if the D.C metro than what is it? Loudoun county is also more in filled now.

I think their should be some exceptions to that rule. Crofton MD is vert much a suburb of D.C. Whem PG county experienced white flight in the 80's and 90's. Many of them went to AAC. Most of them commuted to their jobs in PGC or D.C
