Is that really true? Chicagoland is 8-ish million in Illinois and Philly + Pittsburgh is 8-ism million in Pennsylvania, isn't it? At the very least they are certainly comparable in population.

A county breakdown in Illinois vs. PA would be helpful for comparing the respective metro areas.

Not rural PA or rural Ill, just the counties in each respective metro. (excluding Indiana, Wisconsin, New Jersey, and Delaware).

Chicago's MSA population within Illinois is 8,628,040 as July 1, 2018

Philadelphia + Pittsburgh MSAs total population within Pennsylvania is 6,452,477 as of July 1, 2018

The new GDP figures by county will come out next month on the 12th. We will really be able to break down these numbers however we like then.

Wow. Thank you for doing this. Greatly appreciated. I thought Chicago's MSA within IL was only about ~1,000,000 higher than the combined populations of the Philadelphia MSA and Pittsburgh MSA within PA's boundaries. Chicago truly is a beast!

You're welcome, and actually I messed up by relying on Wikipedia for information on delineating the Chicago MSA. When double checking with the most recent delineations from the Census Bureau for 2018 it's an even bigger number for the Chicago MSA population within Illinois: 8,628,040

I re-checked the Philadelphia + Pittsburgh number just to be sure and that one is correct.

I totally forgot about the fact that PA's suburbs that contribute to its GDP are heavily populated in NJ and DE. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd assume the portion of Philly's MSA in other states is much higher than the portion of Chicago's MSA in other states. I mean, South Jersey is pretty heavily populated and is literally right across the river. Chicago's counties in WI and IN are pretty far away and would likely be much smaller and less influential than Camden, Gloucester, Burlington, and New Castle Counties, right?

Mississippi is in the 30s place of GDP. That's not tragic but certainly modest. Per capita income is the lowest in the country but that doesn't equates to poorest as well. Now of the per capita was half or less of the national income sure I'll say it's a well deserve title.

The PA suburban counties are by far the economic leaders of the state and Philadelphia region (Montgomery, Chester, Delaware, Bucks Counties), BUT South Jersey is also home to 2ish million people and very much economically and culturally connected to Philadelphia, much more-so than any neighboring state near Chicago.

Northern Delaware is also home to well over 500,000 people and a huge economic / banking hub for the Philadelphia region.

It does make it harder to compare the two regions because of that.
