Talk:New York metropolitan area

message: The opening paragraphs states that the urban landmass is 12,093 km2, while the table lists it as 8,936 km2. Three supporting external lists (10,11,12) state that first number is the largest urban landmass. Meanwhile the table on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo lists 13,452 km2 (a larger number). I trust there is logic here, can anybody explain this to me?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Balenman (talk • contribs) 14:02, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Landmass definition is confusing 

message: Apparently, although the New York metro Area contains Pike County, Pennsylvania, the New Jersey Palisades, and other mountainous areas, its highest point is 400 feet up on Staten Island???  The New Jersey Palisades are over 500 feet above sea level in some parts while in Sussex County, NJ and Pike County, PA are over 1,000 feet above sea level.  Also, Bald Mountain in New Jersey is 1,000 feet above sea level. 67.82.98.49 (talk) 21:45, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  What? 

message: This is a request to those who are more familiar with the relevant metro statistics than I. As I laboriously updated the Citywide census estimates scattered throughout New York City to 1 July 2009, I saw several outdated estimates of the metropolitan area populations. (See also Demographics of New York City.) I could update those metro estimates myself, but it could probably be done more quickly, easily and accurately by those who can recognize which definitions apply (and not invalidating other data based on the 2000 Census or 2007 City & County Data Book), while I finish updating the individual NYC boroughs. —— Shakescene (talk) 03:39, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Updating census estimates at New York City 

message: It is absolutely wrong that the highest point in the NYC Metro area is located in Alpine NJ.  For instance, the highest point in Essex Cty, NJ, is around 700 feet.  The highest point in NJ, in Sussex Cty, NJ, is a little over 1800 feet.  I am unsure, however, if High Point is considered part of the metro area.  Plus, there are portions of PA and upstate NY that are included in the definition.  Is metro area defined on the county level, or municipality level?  If its the county level, this would be an easy thing to determine.  If it is the municipality level, that is a little more complicated.
I can see where the confusion may come from, however.  After 9/11, many broadcasters that were located in the WTC located their transmission sites to Alpine, due to its higher-than-average elevation and line-of-site view to NYC. I believe Alpine was always used as a broadcaster site, though. Roodog2k (talk) 13:07, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The statistical map shows that Litchfield County, Connecticut is included in the metro area, which would mean that Mount Frissell at 2,454 feet is in it too. Though I'm sure there are higher peaks in Duchess County, New York or thereabouts. Best, Markvs88 (talk) 15:08, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  I didn't even realize that about CT!  Very interesting.  So, that may be a candidate, but again, is Metro Area defined by county, municipality, or worse by Census designated place, especially since we may be talking about places in BFE?Roodog2k (talk) 16:58, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Highest Point in NY Metro Area 

message: I assume it's for the combined statistical area, but is the 11,842 sq mi give for the CSA or the MSA?  If it is for the CSA, perhaps that should be made more clear by stating that exactly, and then we also need to have the MSA land area printed probably in both the beginning of the page and in the infor box.  See how it's done for Metro Detroit where the populations and areas are listed for the urbanized area measurement, the MSA, and the CSA. --Criticalthinker (talk) 10:38, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Might it be sensible to give readers a perspective on the New York Metropolitan Statistical Area by contrasting it with the population of the entire State of New York. The content here states the population of the New York Statistical Area is 18,897,109 as of the 2010 census while the same census gives the figure of 19,378,102 as the population of the State of New York.  It givers a certain perspective to show that the population in the area being referenced in this article which includes parts of other states is according to the data only 480,993 shy of the population of the whole of New York State.

message: For experts (and non-experts alike) in the history of the New York metropolitan area, your help would be greatly appreciated in expanding, citing, cleaning up, and overall upgrading this section. In addition, the historical detail about the area outside of the New York City boroughs themselves is pathetically sparse. Some detail about the second-tier (after NYC) cities in the metro area (including Newark, Jersey City, Yonkers, Bridgeport, and Paterson, for example) would be great. Thank you!!!

message: I am a lifelong resident of the Lehigh Valley and was surprised to see it engulfed in the Greater NYC CMSA definition when I did not suspect it possible for at least another decade. This occurred due to an unpublished rule change by the Federal Office of Management and Budget, which oversees the Census Bureau. The only metric used in combination is employment interchange between the MSA's and the old rule was automatic combination for at least 25% and consultation with the Congressional delegation for 15-25%, with the highest number taking it if sufficient levels exist in more than one way. The change made it automatic at 15%, which may be too low. I am using the opportunity to inform the largest possible audience of what exists in the Lehigh Valley, while not wanting the third-largest metro area of PA to be regarded as mere suburbs of something larger. This is an important area in its own right and must act as such to compete commercially. Heff01 (talk) 06:50, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems as if you guys can't get enough of NYC and want to be included in our region.  Well - you are not.  You guys are annoying.  You want to include yourselves in an area that you are not in, while the other annoying region of Boston keeps trying to stake claims on CT, even though Boston is no where near CT.  Just stick to where you are...  Oh yeah - unlike NJ and CT, PA roads are not directly connected to NYC, nor is there a commuter train system either.

thread_title:  Lehigh Valley 

message: Listen, since this article was created, I have noticed that even more PA counties have been included.  These are false.  PA is not a part of metro NYC.  The ONLY county that you could throw in there is Pike County, and that is only because of TV market.  This place is called the "Tri-state area" for a reason - it includes NY, NJ and CT.  PA is not on the list because they areas.  No matter how close it is to NJ, it does not put it in metro NYC.
This is pure fantasy about PA being in metro NYC.  PA may WANT to be in in it, but they are not.  PA has it's own major cities which is one of the reasons they are not in metro NYC.  PA also has it's own Tri-state area down in the Philly region.  What's next - adding Ohio and the whole of New York State?  The Baltimore metro does not extend into Philly's metro area - which it easily could, so why do certain peoples keep trying to extend PA into NYC's metro area?  The map is false and the inclusion of PA is false.  PA is not even on the east coast for that matter.
I am revising the article to reflect reality.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:558:6017:A2:8B1:BB00:9524:92B7 (talk) 18:59, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified (February 2018) 

message: Are these used interchangably when naming the combined statistical area? I found a couple sources where both names are used without explanation. In the article, Bridgeport is only included in the name in the infobox. Languorrises (talk) 16:47, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: This article covers several statistical areas, with redirects for each, including New York-Newark, NY-NJ-CT-PA CSA and New York-Newark-Bridgeport, NY-NJ-CT-PA CSA, among others. I would think the preferred alternate name in the infobox would be the one with the greatest geographical extent covered in the article. Ibadibam (talk) 18:43, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article Needs to be Updated 

message: This sentence in the proposal section is incomprehensible:
:>Within the State of New York, discussions have emerged of not succeeded the New York-portion to a separate state but rather splitting the states into different regions, with separate governors and legislators whilst remaining part of the state.

message: The first item below the main sidebar is an interactive map. It is broken. The map is default centered on lat/long (0,0) and even if you pan and zoom to the NYMA, nothing besides the political and road maps of the area is shown.

message: I updated the maps in the infobox, but this article still has major issues; this is not the New York City CSA but this article uses them interchangeably. This article is on the Metro Area specifically, but it mentions counties and cities outside of the metro area as if they are a part of it, when they are only a part of the CSA. This needs to be clarified because it is highly misleading and inaccurate. For maps of the MSA , MSA Divisions , and CSA . Bill Williams 01:05, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Some other metro articles have subsections on the CSA specifically, which is what I think this article needs. Currently many things need to be removed or clarified regarding the MSA vs CSA. Bill Williams 01:10, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Dutchess and Orange counties both get commuter rail to NYC via Metro North and are basically in the process of being integrated into the metro area proper. They're probably worth a mention here imo. SwordofStorms (talk) 19:32, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Those counties are both part of the CSA but not the MSA. Almost no other article on a metro area is this vague and confusing by conflating MSA and CSA throughout. They should at least be distinguished in the article, instead of being stated as if they are the same thing. Bill Williams 19:38, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major Issues 

message: After the intro mentions the CT cities that are included in the NYC metro area, the map does not show any part of CT as being in the metro area. 69.113.89.168 (talk) 19:56, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That is because the intro is flawed, and I do not want to have to edit the entire article to fix it. This article mistakenly throws the term metro area around in an inaccurate manner, referring to the CSA as the metro area (MSA) when they are two different things. Connecticut has parts of the New York CSA but not the MSA. Bill Williams 04:41, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

message: right|100px Moving with the times, I will be recreating - and eventually replacing within the article - this image with an SVG equivalent. The current version serves the purpose, but is awfully inferior for the high resolution screens we have nowadays. Great job for a 2005 map, though.
