The six counties of Birmingham metro has a GDP of 55.4 billion. The 3 counties of Mobile has a GDP of 25.4 billion and Huntsville's 2 counties are 26.2 billion making a total of 51.6 billion. Which is NOT what you are getting

Dude. I gave you links. The Federal Reserve's research desk, broken down by MSA. But, okay, here you go again.

1) the only government link you sent me was how GDP was calculated

2) the other website that you site was Fred.org which is not a government website


Note: fred says that they are siting the Bereau of Economic Analysis, however the numbers in the BEA are much different than what Fred is projecting, so not sure what the discrepancy is

I did on post #68. And it's the Federal Reserve, which derives its numbers from the BEA. They even link to it on their graphs. About the most trusted economic source there is.

At the bottom of the graphs: "Source: U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis"

My source:
U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis

I don't know what they fudge to get to where they are but I still have the raw numbers

And the Federal Reserve sources the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, if you could bother to even read my links.

My numbers come from THE SOURCE, like dude, You can't get any better than the source. Therefore my numbers are gonna be more correct


Also I was not making a motion that Huntsville will overtake Birmingham by GDP. I see my wording could've made that out to be, I'll apologize for that one. The notion was that Mobile and Huntsville Metros together could overtake Birmingham by GDP

You're not even being honest with how you add things up. You keep insisting that the Mobile MSA is three counties when it is Mobile County and Washington County only. Look:

https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/met...ap_Mar2020.pdf

So on one hand you're blowing off the Federal government's decision of what constitutes the Mobile MSA, while you're clinging to a wrongheaded interpretation of the BEA's raw data. I mean, at least be consistent about matters.

I literally gave an entire post reasoning why Baldwin County is a part of Mobile, I have been consistent the entire time, 3 counties of Mobile and 2 counties of Huntsville vs the 6 counties of Birmingham. What do you mean the "Wrong Interpretation" it's literally raw numbers, what is there to "wrongheaded interpretation." ITS RAW NUMBERS, ITS THE REAL DATA

Well, according to the Federal government, your reasoning is wrong. So you are cherry picking your data.

I mean, if we just snag Mobile and Washington Counties from the very BEA data you apparently have this religious devotion to, it only adds up to $19,275,971,000. So my Federal Reserve data of $21,672,326,000 is actually kinder to the Mobile MSA than the source you cite.

It's not wrong, Baldwin County already meets ALLLLLL the criteria for integration into a metro, the Feds havent updated since it takes years for the Feds to update metros
