Is Sacramento, too? At some point it should be renamed the NorCal CSA if it keeps extending further from the Bay.
Most of Sacramento's suburbs are on its east side, away from the Bay Area, due to flooding. And it's very uncommon to reverse commute from the East Bay to Sac. But tons of people commute down to San Jose and the South Bay.
The Nashville metro should include on paper, the Clarksville metro as well.
Clarksville metro area has 310k, whereas Nashville has 1,940k. Adding Clarksville catapults Nashville to 2.250k, which is where it kind of sits in my thinking of the Nashville region.
Clarksville (about 160k) is 55 minutes northwest of Nashville and is not part of the metro.
Comparatively, Murfreesboro (about 140k) is 40 minutes southeast of Nashville, and is part of the metro.
I realize Clarksville wants to have its own metro and its own thing, but it could help further boost the city by officially adding it in.
Anyone know if that would happen in the future--a Nashville-Clarksville CMSA?

Is Stockton considered East Bay? Isn’t it miles from the ocean?
Fulton County, IL was added to metro Peoria. Under the revised definitions, the population dropped from 403,328 in 2018 to 400,561 (-0.7%) in 2019. The state of Illinois is basically slumping everywhere - both greater Chicago and "downstate".
That explains it. People from a rural county like Fulton have no choice but to commute to the nearest "big" city for good jobs, thus the census will adjust the boundaries accordingly. I personally would like for most of the biggest metros in central Illinois to merge- Peoria and adjacent Bloomington-Normal (although it's not doing bad on its own); Springfield and Decatur (no chance in rebounding in the near future).

Some of that is reflected in Suffolk being up about 1000 from its adjusted 2018 estimate.
Houston, given the cratering energy prices, is almost certain to have unusually bad economic numbers over the short term. Everywhere is suffering due to Covid-19 but no other metro is as tied to high energy prices.
I didn’t state otherwise about what could happen short term. Just remarking on his alternative energy comment.
In Chicagoland, the counties of Kane and Will are negative for the first time in recent memory, and McHenry is also back to negative. DeKalb is up a bit, though. It actually looks like most of Illinois' counties that gained were small rural counties like Brown County.
Unlike last year, Washington did have a few counties that lost people, a few small ones in the southeast (Asotin, Columbia, Garfield).

But where did you find 2019 estimates for Baltimore city proper?
Baltimore City (as well as Philadelphia, St Louis, New Orleans, VA Cities, Denver, San Francisco, Louisville) are coterminous with their county (or parish) so get released with county estimates.
Ohhh Shelby County (Memphis) grew by 2000, good by Memphis standards, guess Memphis is not dead yet....Guess all that development is actually starting to mean something

Yep it should.
Aw Man Nashville's not at 2 million yet??
Metros are recalculated and counties added or subtracted the 3rd year of each decade 2013...Next time will be 2023... Maybe Nashville Clarksville will merge than
