Will MSP surpass Detroit in CSA GDP in the near future? Didn't realize it already has a higher MSA GDP
I'm still trying to find numbers for 2012 because I'm unsure as well. Detroit was the hardest hit during the recession so it's still recovering, Detroit wasn't even in the 200 billions a few years ago, that just goes to show how hard the great recession hit. But if Metro Detroit happens to pick up Washtenaw county this decade then probably not. Regardless of if it does or not, Minneapolis punches well above it's weight.

http://bea.gov/newsreleases/regional..._metro0914.pdf has all the data including growth rates and numbers back 5 years. However, I'm not actually seeing exactly the same numbers in these charts as the OP originally printed.
How about Houston? It's CSA GDP is higher than Boston's despite having a million fewer people.
Not sure of the methodology, but do they include all of the oil from the gulf into Houston's GDP or something? Otherwise Houston's numbers make it top5 richest places on the planet, above Switzerland, Bay Area, NYC, etc... For example, the difference between Houston and Dallas is like $10,000 per capita, which is crazy.

Detroit and the Twins seem to be battling for the same spot post-recession.
If you go to 'interactive tables' on the right side of OP's link, it shows you the past years for every metro. You just have to hand select which metros you want to see and whether you only want totals or all the data. Though I don't think they have CSA data (or at least I didn't notice if there was).
Also glad to see the Bay Area inching closer to the Trillion dollar club. We should be there in about less than a decade or so.
Also great news to see Houston and Boston breaking the $500 Million club.
Seattle leapfrogging Miami in its diametric opposite part of the country was expected.
All in all, the West looks to be well represented and positioned to move forward as we have several beasts chomping at the heels of the old guard. Still, impressive gains from the top down.
Can't wait to see the individual breakdowns for each.
Good work, All!
The Inner Bay Area is really on a torrent right now, and has probably already eclipsed the Chicago MSA by now, which is astounding cause we're talking about 3 million less people.
San Francisco & San Jose MSAs
2013 Population: 6,435,917
2013 GDP: $585.101 Billion
2013 Per Capita GDP: $90,511
San Jose Per Capita GDP: $102,530
San Francisco Per Capita GDP: $85,970
SF+San Mateo+Marin, when separated from the East Bay is most likely well over $100,000
