I guess I identify with my own city, and my state, Colorado, more than my metro area, Denver. In fact, up here in Boulder County, a lot of people feel they are totally separate from Denver. I do not agree, but I don't feel I live in "Denver".
However, when I am out of state, I will usually say "Near Denver" when someone asks me where I live.

Reason: addition
When I lived in WI I identified with my city. Now that I live in Florida (and nobody is from here) I identify with being from the midwest. I currently live in the suburbs of Tampa-St. Pete, now I identify myself is living in the Tampa Bay area to outsiders, Pinellas County to people who live in Tampa, and North Pinellas to everyone else.
Complicated, huh?
