I don't know if any of these cities qualify, but I feel it's misleading when they give you the "population" of a city but do not give you the population of the "greater" area. You always hear that New Orleans has a population of about 300K. The greater New Orleans area is over 1.2 million. THAT is the real population. The only reason Jefferson, St. Bernard, St. Charles and St. Tammany exists is because they grew around Orleans.
I wonder what the "greater" area of those cities are.

I've been to four out of five of those cities. The metro pop of those cities isn't much different than the city population.
Can't speak to Wilmington though.

I think you meant to say "they fled NO"

I gave her a comparison with the first city that came to mind as a potential comp, Milwaukee, which has a pop. of 577,000. The metro areas are 2.3m and 1.5m respectively, so Pitt is actually a larger market.
Populations for city propers can be very misleading.
