yuriandrade, appreciate the stats, just a couple thoughts...
A 75 mile radius is a HUGE geographical area and is definitely a stretch to include these fringe populations into the dominate city/metro stats. There are a lot of overlap of metro populations occurring. However, in western metros, like Phoenix, the figure is pretty accurate because these metros are isolated from other population centers. Some figures provide an accurate account of metro pop while others are highly inflated.

In SD's case, this would include all of South OC and parts of Riverside County. I'm guessing it includes all of Tijuana and points south as well. The entire county of San Diego only contains 3.5 million people.
