July 1 '06 CSA Census estimates (large MSAs with no CSAs added)

Hi folks, there's been much talk recently about the latest census bureau MSA population estimates, based on the July 1 '06 estimates, but I checked the website yesterday and saw that they'd also compiled the CSAs, so I thought I'd post it. I added large MSAs to the list below, in cases where they don't have a corresponding CSA. The second number represents the raw growth from July 1 2000 (NOT April, 2000) to July 1 2006.

1. New York-Newark-Bridgeport, NY-NJ-CT-PA 21,976,224 569,491

How did Houston end up gaining less people in the CSA count than it did in the MSA count? These figures show an increase of 799,262 while the MSA count showed an increase of 824,547. It just looked weird since I would expect the CSA to be a larger area.

Is it possible that the part of the Houston CSA that is not in the Houston MSA might have lost population?

Or did Houston lose some counties that were previously included in its CSA?

I'm using a July to July reference period, NOT an April 2000 to July reference period. That's the difference you're noting. It would affect every number shown above, but in an equal manner for each CSA. I thought it was more informative to present an even 6-yr growth number versus a 6-yr plus 3 months period, in case people wanted to scale off the numbers for hypothetical future growth possibilities.

it's amazing to think that within the next decade LA will pass New York... who ever would have thought that the NY metro wouldn't be the biggest in the nation even 15 years ago?

I'm betting it won't. Judging by trends in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division of the MSA (it actually shrank so far this decade), along with the build-out in Orange county, the only place left for rampant growth is inland.

And judging by the quality-of-life problems already present for folks living inland, I think more people will simply vote with their feet and move on.

How on earth would the above data lead you to this conclusion?

LA might pass NYC or it might not, but nothing in the above data would indicate LA's relative growth would lead it to pass NYC in the next decade.

I don't think LA will pass NYC anytime soon, not because of growth rates, but because of MSA/CSA definitions.

NYC is close to adding a few populous counties in PA and might even "steal" a county in NJ from Philly (Burlington) in the next few years. Also, NYC will merge with Philly long before LA merges with further away and smaller San Diego.

i don't know... maybe because LA's growing 80% faster?

At the above stated CSA definitions and growth rates, LA is likely to pass NY soon. how is that not realistic?

LA is not growing 80% faster. Check your math.

You claimed LA is going to pass NYC in a decade. Using the above growth rate, it would still be short a few million 10 years from now.

You are also assuming:

1. Constant growth rates (which won't happen, rates for both cities will go up or go down) and
2. No change in the composition of the two CSAs (which probably won't happen).

If you simply extrapolate the numbers in a linear fashion, you could come to that conclusion.

But as we all know, growth is not linear. The only real growth occurring in the LA CSA right now is in Riverside, and I think that will slow down before LA can pass NY.

As I think about this prospect, even if possible, notwithstanding earthquake activity, water shortages and the like (or severe drought in the east, for that matter)................who the hell cares?

Well, as far as who the hell cares, there are some individuals, myself included, who enjoy tracking population trends and who are fascinated by population stats. So there's that. I agree with prior posters, however, that if the LA CSA passes the NYC CSA it would have to still be a couple to several decades down the road, for reasons previously cited by several posters. Without question though, if and when that happens, it would be a momentous and historic shift in the nation's demographics, since the NYC area has been the most populous for, seemingly, forever. So, it's interesting and fun to think about.

well, before this gets out of hand, let me post some numbers, again, these are directly from the census tables, and reflect JULY 1, 2000 through JULY 1 2006 growth.

Atlanta MSA 856,266 Atlanta CSA 894,341
Houston MSA 797,790 Houston CSA 799,262
Chicago MSA 384,966 Chicago CSA 390,434

I think the discrepancies you are citing are going back to the April 1 2000 census base as a reference. I'm using July 1 through July 1 to get an even-year number comparison, not six years plus three months.

Baby boom adds to area's growth
(http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/h...SUS_S1.article)

April 6, 2007

By ANDREA HEIN STAFF WRITER

JOLIET -- News that the population of the Chicago metropolitan area, including Joliet, has increased since 2000 probably won't shock most residents.

But people may be interested to learn that recent figures from the U.S. Census Bureau show that the number of births within the 14 counties stretching from Wisconsin through Indiana added more to the population than people moving into the area alone.

Understanding just how much Joliet, Will County and the Chicago region are expanding and how they rank compared to population changes nationwide depends on the population statistics and what is included or excluded from that data.

This week the U.S. Census Bureau released its list of population growth from 2000 to 2006 within metropolitan areas.

Defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget for statistical purposes, the Chicago Metro Area includes Chicago, Naperville, Joliet, Elgin, Arlington Heights, Evanston, Schaumburg, Skokie, Des Plaines and Gary, Ind.

During the past six years, the Chicago Metro Area grew by more than 407,000 people: It now ranks 10th in the nation for numerical population growth, according to census data.

yes, as I've stated a few times now, the difference is whether you are starting from April 2000 or July 2000 as a base. I posted a six year July to July comparison. That is the correct number for the Chicago MSA if you reference the April 2000 population numbers, but that's NOT what I used for my first post, for Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, or any other metro.

You can see how crazy the growth in Las Vegas is by going up the list until you find a higher number of new people over that time period. You have to go all the way up to number 13, Phoenix! Vegas is adding more people than the next 17 larger MSAs or CSAs!
