That is 1.38 mil metro population (Duval, Clay, Nassua, St. Johns, Bradford, Union and Baker)

1.56 mil if you add Flagler and Putnam. (which we should).

1.62 mil with Charlton and Camden. (probably should as well).

Why should we lump in all these other counties? Isn't Duval big enough on it's own?

I agree. Who comes up with these inconsistent metro population numbers anyway? St Marys is right up the damn highway, and it's not included in Jax's metro population?

Why?

It is contingent upon employment and commuting patterns between the areas. I think there are 3 or 4 conditions that have to be met. If those counties aren't part of our metro area, it is likely because not enough of their residents work in Duval County or our other counties.

I can't remember what the threshold % is though

finehoe · March 17, 2011, 09:05:34 PM

QuoteA county qualifies as an outlying county of a CBSA if it meets the following commuting requirements:
(a)
At least 25 percent of the workers living in the county work in the central county or counties of the CBSA; or
(b)
At least 25 percent of the employment in the county is accounted for by workers who reside in the central county or counties of the CBSA.

Flagler is already lumped with the Daytona-Deltona MSA, which is then meshed with Orlando-Sanford-Kissimmee.

Putnam is just sort of out there on it's own.

JeffreyS · March 17, 2011, 11:27:44 PM

I would guess Flagler interacts with Jax metro as much as Daytona. just a guess.

reednavy · March 18, 2011, 12:01:21 AM

I'd be lying if I wasn't a little miffed at the fact Jax got kicked a spot back by Indianapolis!

Agreed^

Indy is a pretty nice city, though.

Surprisingly.

Avoid Ft Wayne at all costs.

Why?

Why St Pete decreased?? Probably the hurricane damage/lack of insurance issue. That'd be my educated stab in the dark. $:-\$ You'll notice Monroe county also declined in population, and I'd cite the same reason.
