Essentially it all deals with how many people commute in. If something like 25% of a county's workforce commutes into the city for work, it is included in the metro.
Yes.
I think it is strange that Eureka Springs (Carroll County) isn't considered a part of the NWA metro, but there just isn't a lot of commuting happening (yet).
McDonald County, MO is included, because its population is centered down along the MO/AR line, and those people are 20 minutes from Bentonville. They also shop and dine in Rogers/Bville.
Fayetteville is more or less the tail-end of it's own metro. The area to the south of town is very rural and rugged mountain land. Not a lot of people live down there.
