But has a pretty high proportion of vibrant, desirable, walkable neighborhoods. Much more like Pittsburgh than Detroit. Also feels much bigger than it is. Smaller metro than Grand Rapids, but feels 3-4x as big.

Buffalo metro population is actually still larger than Grand Rapids per 2019 estimates by ~ 50,000, but it continues to shrink while Grand Rapids is still growing. Grand Rapids CSA population is larger. It also covers an area twice as big as Buffalo's CSA.
