But that doesn't really fit IMO with Tennessee/Kentucky.. I can't imagine Memphis being home to a smaller percentage of Tennesseans than Louisville to Kentuckians. And does Albuquerque really have such a relatively big population to all of New Mexico? And Atlanta such a relatively small?

Atlanta proper is less than 5% of the population of Georgia, more than 90% of the metro area lives outside of the city

Louisville is basically all of Jefferson County- that is, more than one out of six congressional districts.

Memphis is most of, but not all, Shelby County- more along the lines of roughly out of nine congressional districts.

The discrepancy makes sense because Tennessee is larger than Kentucky by a larger percentage than Memphis is larger than Louisville.



Thanks for the explanation. Now it makes perfect sense Smiley
