• Atlanta MSA loses Lamar
• Chicago MSA loses Kenosha
• Cincinnati MSA loses Union
• Cleveland MSA GAINS Ashtabula
• Fresno MSA GAINS Madera
• Houston MSA GAINS San Jacinto
• Indianapolis MSA loses Putnam, GAINS Tipton
• Louisville MSA GAINS Meade, Nelson

• New Orleans MSA loses Saint Tammany (holy moly, that’s huge!)
• New York MSA loses Pike
• Pittsburgh MSA GAINS Lawrence
• Virginia Beach MSA loses Franklin city and Southampton, GAINS Surry

Those were the changes I quick glanced for the Top 50 metros

Hey, Port Townsend, WA is a micro area now (which it has felt like for a long time). All is right in the universe.

The Reno MSA gained Lyon County, which feels right. Still doesn't have Carson City, which feels strange.

Durham MSA lost Granville County.

It looks like the Raleigh-Durham CSA lost Granville but gained Lee and Harnett (roughly 140,000 added).

[Heel82]

Charlotte jumped up huge, well over the 3 million mark now.

CT is really just a separate entity now Hartford-New Haven-Waterbury-New London is 1 CSA that’s nuts

Charlotte CSA (2,920,892 > 3,333,992). Massive bump.

Good maybe I won't have to hear the weatherman on Ch 7 get all jacked up about the weather in Pike County (2+ hrs from NYC) anymore.

The hilarity of a Bay Area CSA that includes Merced, Modesto, and Stockton Counties in the Central Valley, but not Sonoma that actually rings the bay.
