I believe the CSA was already above 1,000,000, as of the 2010 census (according to Wikipedia at least, this is the four-county metro area plus the cities of Muskegon, Big Rapids, and Holland). It gained almost 100,000 residents:
CSA - 2010: 1,075,723
CSA - 2020: 1,168,015
I'm a little surprised that Grand Rapids (city) did not breach the 200,000 mark (at least, according to the CB data). The 2019 estimates pegged it at 201,000+. It fell short by ~ 1,100 residents:
City - 2010: 188,040
City - 2020: 198,917
Kent County (home to Grand rapids) had healthy growth, at 9.2%. And neighboring Ottawa County had the largest percent growth in the entire state of Michigan, at 12.3%, which contributes to Grand Rapids' MSA & CSA growth.
