Metropolitan area of DC ranks 4th at 9,331,587 people. City populations don't mean much considering most people living in the burbs commute to that city everyday.

I thought Arlington was much higher up for some reason.

If you factor in metro area population, New Orleans tumbles down the list.

It is very sprawled out that is why. Plus....not sure what numbers they include...cause I saw Mesa, AZ (which some would consider a suburb of metro PHX) separately on that list towards the bottom with about 450K. Mesa, AZ....the land of meth heads, poor native americans, Mormons and Jodi Arias...still has more people that NOLA

You'd have to do that for every city on the list.

DFW was always a solid #4 behind NY/LA/Chicago when I was in school. What happened?

I got it from Wikipedia so it could definitely be wrong, but it say DFW is 8th.

I'm not sure where he is getting his numbers. DFW Metropolitan Statistical Area is 4th with approximately 6.95 million people, followed by Houston at 6.49, Philadelphia at 6.05, and then DC at 6.03.

Ahh, you're using Combined Statistical Areas, which is fairly broad and includes Baltimore in the count for Washington DC numbers. MSA would rank DC separate from Baltimore.

Not True, New Orleans metro is #45 among metropolitan areas.

Thanks for the correction

It sounded high to me, but I wasn't too focused on reading into it.
