How many people live in your metropolitan area?  Feel free to choose where you were born, where you live now, where you're "from" (if you're away at college) or whatever location means the most to you!  Let's use the 2016 estimates (on the left).  Here is the list:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Metropolitan_Statistical_Areas

I've only ever lived in two places, so here are mine:

BORN: Peoria, IL (376,246)

LIVE: Iowa City, IA (168,828)

Born and raised: Chicago-Naperville-Elgin IL-IN-WI: Pop. 9,512,999, Rank #3

Currently live: Madison WI: Pop. 648,929, Rank #86

There's a chance that I'll end up moving back to Chicago.  I'd be the 9,513,000th person!

People actually take "metropoplitan statistical areas" seriously?

I live in what is called a "micropolitan area," which comprises the entire county of Columbia, NY. That is a misnomer, since the county contains large swaths of rural areas, or unpopulated mountainous areas. More apropos is that other creature called an "urban cluster." The map of mine (quite elongated), is the Hudson, NY urban cluster, and it has 11,512 people per the 2010 census. It is probably around 11,000 people now. Columbia County in the 2010 census had around 63,000, closing in on 60,000 as time goes by. Given the large number of second homes in the area, the number of folks actually wandering around who frequent the place might be around 20% higher.

According to your link I live in the LA-OC metropolitan area which encompasses just over 13 million people as of 2016 and is the second largest in the United States. I thought I lived in a bubble but to think that we're 4% of the US population is amazing. I also never realized that OC really was connected to LA until I got my first car and could drive to Long Beach in 5-10 minutes.

2.3 million, but if you consider the Randstad to be one metro area it's over 7 million.
