Huntington proper is 48,000 but the metro area has 309,000. So I'm in a petite metro However, the Huntington metro borders the Charleston metro which also has around 300,000. So it's sort of a gray area

Kind of curious about why you're asking this question, but no harm in answering even without knowing the purpose. I live in the Boston metro, so which category the area falls into depends on whether you are going by MSA or CSA population. If the former, Boston is in the "large" category. In the latter case it falls under "enormous." I voted "large" because I tend to think of a metropolitan area as a city and its commuter suburbs, which fits the MSA model more closely than CSA. It's tricky, though. I can see some sections of a CSA having a more local feel than other sections. Still, I'm going with the traditional picture of a metro area, so I went with "large."
