I would not consider orangeburg a part of Columbia even if it was included
I would. Especially with how traffic backs up on 26 during afternoon rush hour. It’s just as far away as Sumter, but closer time wise thanks to the interstate.
I was in North, SC a few weeks ago and upon driving back via 321, you can see some pretty flattering views of the downtown skyline not long after you enter Lexington County from Orangeburg. The northern part is certainly close enough to warrant commuter traffic, especially with the development south of Columbia starting to show life (12 street extension, Gaston area). Maybe once you get down to the city if Orangeburg itself, perhaps not so much, but fact of the matter is when there are no jobs, people are willing to drive. Case in point with the persons house I visited for a family event just outside of North; he commutes to Jenkinsville every day. Yes, well over an hour every day
I just think it paints a false picture of Columbia actual me. For example Greenville area. Not csa. Metro. Saids it's just has large has Greensboro metro. Anyone that has been to both places know Greensboro area is much bigger than Greenville area. It's just that Greenville covers more areas adding to the numbers.
So someone that wants to move to either one of these areas due to population might choose Greenville because it's just as big on paper but in reality it is a vast difference.
These are 2015 population totals I am going off of also but it's just to give an example.

Wait, what? The Greensboro MSA isn't "much bigger" than the Greenville MSA at all, nor does it feel that way for the most part. Only if you add neighboring Winston-Salem does the region feel larger.

This makes no sense.
Greensboro city - 290,000
Greenville city (with NC laws) - 280,000 - 300,000
Guilford County - 526,000
Greenville County - 506,000
Greensboro MSA (not including WS next door) - 761,000
Greenville MSA (not including Spartanburg next door) - 895,000
Piedmont Triad - 5,954 sq miles - 1.6 million
Upstate - 5,194 sq miles - 1.4 million
Both cities mirror each other pretty well and could be considered regional twins. Same could be said with G-SP and G-WS. Not sure what you're talking about. Also who moves to some place just because of population? If someone was choosing between Greenville and Greensboro, I feel like the job, commute, and pay they could get in either would be a little more important of a deciding factor.
When you consider that an MSA includes everyone in the most remote, most rural part of every county included in the designated MSA, including those who haven’t been to the city or even a suburban shopping mall in at least a year, good question.
