The Nashville MSA is already enormous for its population and its CSA already reaches from the TN borders from KY to AL. How many more counties can it add?
A few more wouldn't hurt.
There wouldn't be talk of areas joining if they were not growing more connected.
The area relative to population is large right now, but that's how all CSAs start out. Give it a few decades.
Nashville is really popular right now, and it is in a beautiful part of the country.
It would be nice to see Memphis make a resurgence. I love the soul of that city. I am way overdue for another visit
I've been hearing for several years now that the Dayton, OH and Cincinnati, OH MSAs will merge.
Maybe to a CSA but anybody who thinks they go from not even being in the same CSA into one MSA is way off. They are 60 miles apart and aren't in the same media market
I don’t think the commuting patterns for Montgomery County to Hamilton County is that terribly strong.
It's like 5-6 percent from Montgomery (Dayton) to Hamilton (Cincinnati) and like 2 percent from Hamilton to Montgomery.
Cincinnati gets credit for Butler as a core county which may push it to CSA level, which I think is right.
Cincinnati to Dayton is about the same as Cleveland to Canton, and Canton is in Cleveland's CSA... Canton, though is also in the Cleveland media market, unlike Dayton which is its own media market.
As a resident of the state of Missouri I would like to throw one in that no one ever thinks about, Columbia and Jefferson City. They both are super intertwined with each other with many workers living in one city and working in the other and them both having very close ties with each other. At this point Jefferson City isn’t a separate metro area but is basically in the same metro area as Columbia and should be intertwined into becoming the Columbia-Jefferson City metro area.
I've been hearing for several years now that the Dayton, OH and Cincinnati, OH MSAs will merge.
They will only merge if the urbanized areas does. It's connected but they took away any potential of urbanized MSA's. There is criteria's for that as well. Can't have Philly behind NYC in MSA naming rights.
I've been hearing for several years now that the Dayton, OH and Cincinnati, OH MSAs will merge.
They have not even combined Dayton and Springfield yet and they are practically right next to each other.
