I actually expect that to happen either next year or in 2017. Metros are contiguous populations of 50,000 or more. The city of Twin Falls, along with neighboring Kimberly, have over 49,000 residents already...(for example, the city of Coeur d'Alene has less than 50,000 residents, but combined with the neighboring cities of Post Falls, Hayden, Dalton Gardens, Fernan, and Huetter, the area has been a metro for over 10 years now).
