The LA PMSA did surpass NY in 1990.
PMSA were MSA that were consolidated into CMSAs.
1990 PMSA Population:
Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA 8,863,000
New York, NY 8,547,000
LA PMSA= Los Angeles county.
NY PMSA= New York City, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester counties.
Northern NJ, Long Island, Fairfield CT were part of the CMSA but were their own separate PMSAs.
Orange County was part of the CMSA but it was a separate PMSA.
It was a rather big story when the LA PMSA surpassed NY.
