I think they moved St Tammany into its own MSA for 2022. I don’t know for sure if link’s listed 2020 numbers were adjust for the new boundaries (I think they are), but if you scroll down rankings you will see Covington, mandeville, and Slidell MSA at #183 with 273,263 people for 2022 which would have been a part of New Orleans in 2020 (the map pic shows 2020 boundaries).

If you use 2020 boundaries for New Orleans MSA with 2022 numbers it would have still lost population, but it would have been over 1.2 million people.

Yeah, metro New Orleans lost the Covington/Mandeville/Slidell from its MSA when it became its own MSA. Same thing happened to metro Mobile, AL several years ago when it lost Baldwin County when Daphne/Fairhe/Foley became its own MSA separate from metro Mobile
