What do you think your Metro Area's population will be in the 2010 Census? (live, state)

How do you know they will be added? Just trying to see this info so I can look at my own mmetros in NC.

They are being added back really? That would be a super metro boost

Oh, grow up.

If they get added and the Philly MSA passes DFW, its not a big deal.

If anything it will give some of the more whinny Philly posters less reason to complain.

Ladarron Dallas should be about 6.8 by the end of the year so it wouldn't make much of a difference dude.

It doesnt matter all that much to me if DFW is 5th and Philly is 4th. It really makes no difference. I wont think any different of either place.

If we are 5th DFW, will regain the spot. (Dallas-FT. Worth is growing faster than Philly)

Ah but was just reading the Allentown/Bethleham area, already part of the media market is also right on the cusp of meeting the 25% commuter cusp, that would be another million, oh and it is just about as close to philly as is FT Worth to Dallas

like someone else said it really doesnt matter because the people have always lived here anyway - but I would chuckle, a few thousand commuters would be the differance of an MSA at 6 to 8 million folks

8 Million, would be the goal of the Dallas 2020 census, but the 800K in Lancaster directly bordering the Philly MSA may be added by then, finally the census criteria may actually work to Philly's benefit

2020 MSA at 9+ million - it would be 8.7 today with just a few thousand more commuters, and with development along route 30 in chester and into lancaster county is growing pretty consistently mostly with commuters back in to downingtown and exton (part of the Philly MSA) - they finished the highway since the last census, it would make me chuckle that highway development would give the philly boosts similar to the sunbelts, the people are already here, just need the commuters rates to slightly increase
