I knew it wasn't a huge place, but still thought it was in the 1.3 or 1.4 million range. It's shocking to me to see it ranked lower than places such as Greenville, SC, Omaha, NE, and Tulsa, OK

It just has an outsized reputation. It’s only had one decade where it lost population as a Metro. Grand Rapids MSA is larger than all of those metros (and other seemingly bigger places like Honolulu, Buffalo, Albuquerque, Boise) but doesn’t have anywhere near the cultural cache.
