Micropolitan areas are most often just the entire county that the city is in. I bet those #s line up with the county population estimates.

I guess that is county pop. Starkville is part of an micropolitan statistical area called the Golden Triangle which comprises the towns of Columbus, West Point and Starkville, with GTR airport and industrial park in the middle. It's three bordering counties of about 120k.

I'd like to know what the Oxford micropolitan area comprises.
The 2nd largest city in Lafayette County is Abbeville MS which has less than 500 people. I'm not sure if it's included in this or not but Water Valley is just south of Lafayette county and has around 3,000 people.

I love Starkville small. I wish Hwy12 was more walkable, though.

Yeah, but the metro is centered somewhere around Lowell.
Living in Fayetteville doesn't feel like you're in a city of 100k, and definitely not 500k, because we're on the south edge of the metro. You can literally see off into the Boston Mountains from the town square and from campus, so it feels like you're just in some mountain town.
Now that would change if they ever start aggressively developing south Fayetteville with mid-rises or office parks. Thus far, all of that has gone to the north.

Here's drone video from Six Flags over Jesus, I mean Cross Church, showing what part of Rogers looks like, 20 minutes north.
Sort of like a little version of Frisco/Allen/McKinney up there.

Columbia, SC is booming ... we can literally see it on a daily basis in new construction and traffic.
I wish it wouldn't ... but the entire state is booming, from the beaches to the mountains.
Greenville, Charleston, Myrtle Beach and everywhere in between. Especially Rock Hill which, for all intentional purposes, is a suburb of Charlotte now.
But then again Charlotte is more of a SC city than a NC city.

That area of NWA is pretty much everything I despise in growth. Thank god it's kind of an outlier for the rest of the region.

I'm glad Knoxville isn't growing rapidly anymore, it's already overcrowded as it is. Traffic is a mess at peak times and most of the nicer places are right on the border of Knoxville or outside it.
Knoxville isn't booming, but it's still growing pretty steady. Knox County added right around 20k people from 2010-2015 bringing the population to 451k.
Personally, I love the growth and I live in a high traffic part of the city, but it doesn't bother me with having lived in larger cities with worse traffic. Still wild for me to think that it will reach half a million just by itself by the time my kid will be finishing middle school

It's those small mountains that I love so much about upstate SC. One of the most beautiful areas of the country, IMO.

Nothing against the Upstate, but have you traveled much?

Interesting in the face of the exploding student population. I wonder if they count that?
Or maybe it's more than offset by the exodus of people. It's a shite hole. Source: I've lived here for 26 years.
Roll Tide, but Tuscaloosa can eat me. I'm out first chance I get.

Yes. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. When I lived in Georgia, upstate SC was one of my favorite places for birding. Posted on 3/27/16 at 9:08 pm to Grievous Angel
They don't count students as part of a city's population unless they become full time residents while students.

Eh, I love it here. Downtown is booming, recovery from the tornado has done well, has good places to eat, nice lakes, fun golf, good shopping, and nice people. Plus it's only like 45 minutes away from Birmingham.

Grew up in Tuscaloosa, and I'm not really a fan of what it has become. But that's just the old man in me longing for the past when Tuscaloosa metro only had around 100k people and the University had maybe 15,000 students.
I do like that they're focusing a lot of the development downtown. The new condos and apartments being thrown up all over town as an eyesore, and I've never been a fan of the Midtown Village. Though people older than me probably hated seeing University Mall built where Northington Hospital used to be. All part of progress I guess.
