cities whose metros are 10x bigger

These are all cities whose metros have around ten times as many people as the cities themselves. It shows much American cities are sprawling fast and how suburbs are swallowing up their core cities.
city name/ city pop/ metro pop
(approximate figures)
Atlanta/ 420,000 / 4,900,000

Boston/ 580,000 / 5,600,000

San Francisco/ 750,000 / 7,200,000

Minneapolis/ 370,000 / 3,300,000

Orlando / 200,000 / 1,900,000

Miami / 380,000 / 5,300,000

Salt Lake City / 170,000 / 1,500,000

Baltimore / 650,000 / 7,800,000


I just estimated the populations, if you have more accurate figures then post them.>
