These maps also show how much more constrained Philadelphia's MSA is: a large northeastern swipe on the Philly map is part of New York's MSA, and Reading (to the northwest) is its
own MSA. As is Wilmington. Granted, both are small MSAs, but both are clearly independent from Philadelphia.
By contrast, there is no bleed from Houston to another city. Not even Galveston (which historically had the best claim for a second city in the region).
