edale, Did you even look at the government list? I did not use MSA numbers for other areas with the exception of Providence, which was hidden in a long list of Boston MSA's, and I corrected that. Indeed, Providence is officially considered part of the Boston CSA, which I did not previously realize. Apparently, by official standards, Richmond Va. is its own MSA island without adjoining MSA's and is not listed as a CSA. All 175 CSA areas and their ranking by population as of 2020 are officially designated as such by the U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. Office of Budget and Management.

Again, here is the official list if you missed it the first time. If you think the official list is somehow unfair then take it up with the government.
