I only used the 13 largest MSAs and compared to the rest. I had to start somewhere. I may broaden it to the MSAs greater than 2 million.
For instance, I didn't include Charlotte, NC in my results here. Using my method, it's population footprint indicator for 150 mile radius is over 9.3 million (Greater than 4 of the 13 largest MSAs).
But you are right, Trenton-Ewing may have the largest population footprint surrounding it.
