St. Louis MSA - heads up about Sullivan, Missouri
On page 70 of the most recent OMB bulletin, it is noted that the portion of Sullivan, Missouri which happens to lie in Crawford County, Missouri is to be included in the St. Louis MSA.

Upon my own review of the data available from the Census Bureau, it is unclear to me how to gather precise information on how many people residing in Sullivan also reside in Crawford County so that they may be added to the total in this page's table. The area that's legally Sullivan does not perfectly correspond with census tracts, so unless there were finer data available (census blocks, etc), it's not possible right now to include this information in the table. This is noted as an internal reference.

Inclusion of this population would increase the Missouri-side population of the MSA (and the respective CSA) by about 1000-1500, if I were to wager a guess - but alas, I cannot :( does anyone have any ideas on where to get this population data? Is there a separate source I could cite just for this number? Rhonetalsma (talk) 03:30, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Population updates
Population data from the United States Census Bureau may be updated either:
 * (1) Every ten years with data from the decennial United States Census, or
 * (2) Annually with data from the decennial United States Census and annual population estimates from the United States Census Bureau.

The following table shows when population data is available: Please contact me if you have any questions. Yours aye, Buaidh  22:08, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Combined Statistical Area - Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL MSA
I am not used to editing tables like this, so I wanted to post this change here first and make sure it's accurate - and that I'm not misunderstanding the layout of the table.

The table lists the Core Based Statistical Area of the Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, IA-IL MSA as not being part of a Combined Statistical Area. At least that's how I read the table, and the placement of "none" in the first column of that row. Except, it is part of a CSA... Davenport–Moline–Clinton,_Muscatine,_Iowa–Illinois_Combined_Statistical_Area So I would assume the table needs to be corrected to reflect this, and link to that page.

But also, if the data on this table (The 171 Combined Statistical Areas of the United States of America) is up-to-date (and I assume it's automated in some fashion), the current population for the Quad Cities-based CSA at the last census was 471,551, with a 2017 estimate of 472,153. Which would mean that it's above both Rockford-Freeport-Rochelle, IL CSA and Peoria-Canton, IL CSA, as the 3rd largest CSA in IL. In fact the population numbers on this page look outdated, because they don't match what is on the other table for any of those three CSAs. But even the newer numbers put the population of the Quad Cities CSA as higher than that of the CSAs of Rockford or Peoria.

And I assume that part of the population of the Quad Cities based CSA being in Iowa has no relevance to this chart's organization, since the St. Louis-St. Charles-Farmington, MO-IL CSA is also partly populated with people from Missouri.

So could someone more knowledgeable than me on wikistats pages, please let me know if I'm correctly understanding the information presented in this charge, and therefore my corrections are appropriate to make? Thanks. CleverTitania (talk) 02:20, 12 September 2018 (UTC)


 * I just realized that both tables, in their coding, say they're Census data and not to edit that data. But the national CSA list says it's batch uploaded from changes made at the Census bureau, where as this table does not. Can we simply update this table to pull the same data that the other table is pulling? Or should we simply use the data from the same source page and update this chart manually, as well as the sources linked?  CleverTitania (talk) 02:33, 12 September 2018 (UTC)
