Yes, the JC-Kingsport-Bristol CSA has an '07 estimated population of 497,240, making it the 69th-most populous CSA in the nation.

Good info, thanks. But do you know what criteria they use to decide what area is considered a MSA? It just seems rather odd to me to add Unicoi to Washington Co when geographically, Sullivan and Washington Co are closer to each other. For example, I live in Gray which is in Washington Co. It takes me 35-40 minutes to get to Unicoi Co line but takes me only me 5 minutes to get to Sullivan Co line. Wouldn't it make more sense to make the MSA JC, Jonesborough, Kingsport, Bristol and Elizabethton?
Sorry, rambling here, just seems like an odd division to me.

The MSA used to be just that, with a few additions I think. The Census Bureau changed their definition and it split up our MSA into two. Not sure about the details of that; Kamoshika might know. I would imagine it's based more or less on commuting and economic patterns.

Yep, the federal Office of Management and Budget sets the standards for defining these areas. Here's how they define an MSA: A Core Based Statistical Area associated with at least one urbanized area that has a population of at least 50,000. The Metropolitan Statistical Area comprises the central county or counties containing the core, plus adjacent outlying counties having a high degree of social and economic integration with the central county as measured through commuting.

That is the population of about all of the Tri-Cities hhahahahahah


But that is a very interesting article, thanks for sharing.
I knew Johnson City was growing fast, but wow! I won't recognize the place when I come up for a visit around Christmas.
mbmouse, I may need your help in directing me to Boones Creek
Have a great rest of the evening!

That number is a bit misleading. The city's population from 2000-2010 is only changing from around 55k to, what, 62k? 63k? (Estimated) The metro area has changed from 181k in 2000 to a 2006 est. of 191k. I suppose the article used a 2008 estimate of which I'm not aware for its 193 figure.
