Footprint (150 Mile Radius) Population Indicator of the 13 Largest MSAs in US

There are 366 MSAs as defined by the US Census totaling over 257 million people (approximately 84% of total US Population). These MSAs ranged in population from New York (over 19 million) to Carson City, NV (over 55 thousand).

I analyzed the distance between each of the 13 largest MSAs in the US to all of the other 365 MSAs. By doing so, I was able to get an indication of the US population within any radius of the top 13 MSAs in the United States. The results for 150 mile radius are shown.

The results show the primary city of the 13 Largest MSAs and the estimated population within the radius. It also shows the number of MSAs within the radius. It also lists the top 6 MSAs in population within the radius.

For example, the largest population footprint indicator of the 13 largest MSAs is Philadelphia. Within an estimated 150 miles of Philadelphia MSA, an estimated 40 million people live. There are 21 other MSAs within the 150 radius and the 6 largest are New York, Philly (itself), DC, Baltimore, Bridgeport and Allentown.

Remember, the numbers are estimates (not exact) but does give an indication of population.
