Miami O&D stats are higher than this because this is only MIA and excluding FLL. Houston also edges Atlanta by 100k when you add HOU numbers with IAH numbers. Dallas has 2 airports but DFW is the only intl one since DAL is all domestic. Boston has a few airports but Logan is the only intl port there.
For all this big talk about Sea-Tac it’s O&D stats are disappointing...
Thank you for that. However, these numbers are not O&D only, they are total enplanements.
If your example cities had the GDP gap between them it would 100% be more important than London and Paris with that population. Your comparison only works when we are talking about regions with similar GDPs. As much of a powerhouse the big 3 companies in Seattle are, it still is distant from DFW and that's due to the 3,000,000+ population difference that will only widen as far as stats shown.
You are saying exactly what I'm saying, so what's the problem?
For the Boston area, the following notables come to mind:
TV and movies: Goodwill Hunting, Hocus Pocus, Shutter Island, Manchester by the Sea, The Departed, The Town, Mystic River, Boondock Saints, Knives Out, Spotlight, Gone Baby Gone, Black Mass, St. Elsewhere, Boston Legal, Love Story, Cheers, Ally McBeal, Dawson's Creek, A Million Little Things, and a lot of Stephen King novels/films
Musicians: Aerosmith, James Taylor, The Pixies, Boston, The Cars, Dispatch, Gang Starr, Dropkick Murphys, New Kids on The Block, Passion Pit, Staind, Rob Zombie, Godsmack, Bobby Brown, Guster, Killswitch Engage, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Yo-Yo Ma, The Boston Pops, John Williams
Jidenna, Al. B Sure, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, Benzino, Akrobatik, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, BBD, Joyner Lucas, Mashonda, Amerie, Bia, Donna Summer, Blu Cantrell, Free, JoJo, Benzino, Statik Selektah, Termanology, Ed OG, Araabmuzik, Jon B, Cousin Stizz and Millyz are all from Boston/Prov/Worcester either born there or raised there.
Other TV/movies in Boston include Proud Mary, The Equalizer, The Fighter, Boston Public, Blue Hill Ave, Lift, Spenser Confidential and Squeeze
Philly grew due to German immigrants looking for land, and its fall line location making it a hub for milling. It lagged Boston for imports/exports after the Rev. War.
Philly historically has also had a lower share of its population born in foreign countries than Boston. It's an American plenty-of-land city, not a high per capita GDP seaport/int'l transport hub.

Extremely talented folk. Also, New Edition with the exception of Johnny Gill.

The high per capita GDP doesn't have much sway. Comparing a few other major metros to the Philadelphia area. (numbers are two years old, but this is the general range).
Philadelphia MSA - $63,600
New York MSA - $71,000
Los Angeles MSA - $67,700
Chicago MSA - $61.100
Houston MSA - $63,300
Atlanta MSA - $56,800
Bostons high GDP per capita is impressive, but it would be a skewed measurement since it is an outlier. (higher than New York, LA, Chicago, and DC).
By your last few posts, its seems like you either think lowly of the Philadelphia area, or you aren't very educated on the Philadelphia economy or its influence.
The numbers speak for themselves, and Philadelphia falls exactly in line with a top 6-10 American city economically and influentially.
"plenty of land..not high per capital int'l transit hub" that is how you would describe Wichita Kansas, not a metro of 6+ million people with one of the largest economies in the country...
(also, the Philadelphia metro is one the smallest major metros in land area, another interesting stat that doesn't line up with the "plenty of land" theory).
