Talk:Jackson metropolitan area, Mississippi

Shouldn't it be 3-county metro area?
I highly disagree that the Jackson metro area should include Copiah and Simpson counties. The population density of the Jackson metro area drops off severely well within the Hinds/Rankin/Madison county areas and by the time you reach Copiah and Simpson counties, there is no difference in population density between there and most other parts of the state. The following map illustrates my point very well:

.

The two bottom counties are shaded as almost exclusively having low population densities, and the few spots that show higher population densities are not shaded as having *high* population densities, plus they're nowhere close to being connected to Jackson in any sort of agglomeration. It's just really misleading to say that Jackson has a metro area in excess of 500,000. It's actually more like 440,000 (2000 census figures).

If nobody objects and comes up with a good reason for me not to change it within the next week or two, I will change it myself. Thank you.

Too much duplication
This nearly duplicates the article on Jackson - it should emphasize what is different about the Metro area as opposed to what is in the city. Likely many of these Christian schools are in the metro area; there is a big suburban population. What are they doing? where do they work? how do they vote?Parkwells (talk) 19:14, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Parkerville
Parkerville? The link to the travel website failed. The name 'Parkerville' does not appear in any ancient maps of the area. I am inclined to add a couple of Indian names.Church of the Rain (talk) 02:10, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Yazoo County has been added to the Jackson, Mississippi MSA.
