Your San Francisco Bay Area population is way off - I'm guessing you actually mean San Francisco proper (not the entire SF Bay Area). Checking my former zip codes it does not seem to extend out into the East Bay yet.
- MichaelBurge 11y agoI think you're right. My method for that was to punch into Google 'San Francisco Bay Area population' and write down the number that came up. 'San Francisco population' gives the same number, so I guess it was just the city. It's a good idea to try individual zip codes: It seems like you could get more accurate population data by trying all the possible zip codes and summing the associated census data.
- triangleman 11y agoThe Census actually measures city sizes in terms of "Metropolitan Statistical Areas" or MSA's. Here are the populations for the areas in question: SF-Oakland-Hayward MSA: 4,516,276 New York SA: 13,038,826 (according to [1]) Seattle–Tacoma–Bellevue MSA: 3,671,478 Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim MSA: 12,944,801 [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_statistical_areas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_statistical_areas

- geoelectric 11y agoThey do extend to south san jose, so I assume they cover the entire 101->El Camino->280 corridor from SF down to SJ.
