If you take the 30 largest metros in the US and draw a 100 mile radius around their downtown, which has the largest population? (thread)

1. Philadelphia - 30 million
2. NYC - 29.6 mil
3. Riverside - 20.9 mil
4. LA - 19.4 mil
5. Baltimore - 16.5 mil

@thugaliers @questionableway Yes I would!

@thugaliers @questionableway My friend, let me introduce you to the concept of nouns and adjectives.

[Brandon wants 1 million more neighbors @BRuddTweets]

@thugaliers @questionableway You can be pedantic if you want but the OP made it clear they were talking about one of the common dictionary definitions.

@thugaliers @questionableway I think you're reading too much into it In this context, civilization just means a place where there is organized and formal human settlement with modern technology and standards of living.

@Yellow_Dog1959 @aakashgupta Are suggesting Canadians can't invest in the s&p 500?

[Brandon wants 1 million more neighbors @BRuddTweets]

@thugaliers @questionableway There are places they are habital but not civilized.

@RSGTX91 @StatisticUrban Right. My point is that it's actually highly localized.

[Brandon wants 1 million more neighbors @BRuddTweets]

@kadebencomo @StatisticUrban It would just make the numbers slightly lower.

@Daenakins1 @StatisticUrban Not everyone completes in 4 years, so we track 25+ to account for young people still in school.

@RSGTX91 @StatisticUrban Likewise, it's 22% in Springfield, Mass and 58% in Oxford, Mississippi

@RSGTX91 @StatisticUrban The state numbers hide wide geographic disparity though. Almost 60% of Morgantown, WV residents have a bachelor's degree or higher. Only 23% of Cumberland, MD residents do.

@NoahProoval @DKThomp What makes you think that?

@T4keBackAmerica @JoshJunker2 In 1860 NYC was still the largest city in the US and one of the largest in the world.

@HedgeDirty Except suburbs are often also very blue. Especially the wealthiest ones in big, liberal cities.

@Hutch919 @maxdubler @aaron_renn Even in places like Raleigh the pattern holds. Downtown is the tax base engine.

@SteveWaterbury1 @bradleywthomas Blame for what?

[Brandon wants 1 million more neighbors @BRuddTweets]

@SteveWaterbury1 @bradleywthomas Many of the most affluent suburbs are blue as well. Twenty years ago they might've been red but a lot has changed in national politics.

@retard_alertttt @bradleywthomas Not really true. When I think of places where business owners live, lots of blue places come to mind. Hyde Park, Mt. Lookout, East Walnut Hills, Blue Ash, Wyoming, Dublin, Upper Arlington, Bexley, Shaker Heights, Beechwood, Pepper Pike, Chagrin Falls, Westlake, Bay Village
