the other 22 are all in the south (11) or west (11).
but seattle, denver, boston, salt lake city, nashville, portland, and minneapolis are all north of the national white average, and would be considered "successful" MSAs.
and chicago, baltimore, and memphis are below the national white average and are somewhat stagnant/slow growth.
so there are exceptions both ways.

And now we could include Los Angeles CSA on the stagnant list as well.
