Illinois and Chicago comes to mind, although there are several million people in the state that don't live in the Chicago area. Any others?

New Hampshire, maybe? The majority of the state's citizens live in the Southern portion of the state in cities like Nashua, Manchester, and, Portsmouth - all of which are quite close to the Massachusetts border. The only hubs of civilization I've ever heard of up in the Northern parts of the state belong to colleges (e.g. Dartmouth)

I agree with Rhode Island and Utah, but definitely not Massachusetts and Georgia. Massachusetts has many other locations such as Springfield, Worcester, Lowell, and the Cape that are directed away from Boston. Georgia has Savannah, Augusta, Columbus, etc.

NYC is pretty overwhelming, but I don't think NY belongs on that list. There are other large population centers around the state, notable Buffalo, Syracuse and Rochester.

I'm not so sure about that. A big portion of Central (and maybe Southern?) IL is oriented to St Louis, not Chicago.
