I haven't been able to find any guidelines on this, but the practice on articles about MSAs appears to be to not include the population of counties that were added after a census to that MSA's population at that census. This seems to make more sense, as there are lots of MSAs in states with small counties, where those counties added later may not have been urbanized, and socially not considered part of that particular MSA. However, that doesn't appear to be the practice here. Is there a reason for this? Bneu2013 ( talk) 23:51, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
The 2019 estimates (which cover the new delineations from 2018) have been out for a few weeks, now.

This was the information from last year, and some areas, like Birmingham, AL, Baton Rouge, LA, and Fayetteville, NC, appear to be vastly different: https://archive.vn/20200213131422/https://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/PEP/2018/PEPANNRES/0100000US.31000 https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=List_of_metropolitan_statistical_areas&oldid=947938540 47.197.202.76 ( talk) 04:29, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
Shouldn’t Puerto Rico be in the main list? It’s part of the US and they are regular Census MSAs. - AW ( talk) 01:31, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
Is anyone planning to update the list to account for the newly released 2020 data? 2603:9000:6C01:F33F:FD26:6EC6:DEF4:2BA4 ( talk) 16:51, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
Why does the number at the top of the article, in the lead section, not match the sum of the numbers in the two tables? 385 metro areas in the US states plus 8 in Puerto Rico table equals 393 metro areas, which is not the number in the lead if this list article. If there are ways to reach the number in the lead, perhaps those ways could be explained. I did not change the number in the lead, not knowing these details - - Prairieplant ( talk) 20:51, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
