It is over 4M today. Just adhere to metro as standard.

Even though the point wasn’t effective I get it. However u will need to better represent the dynamics of economy to make your point. For example Detroit was largely a single industry town that was dominated by unions that further locked in the status quo... it was not a diverse or adaptive economy. That runs in contrast to other metros so you can’t use Detroit as a proxy for every area.
