Wondering why they listed the statistical area population for everyone but Valparaiso? Valparaiso is in the Northwest Indiana Region comprised of Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Newton and Jasper counties in Indiana. This region neighbors Lake Michigan and is part of the Chicago metropolitan area. According to the 2010 Census, Northwest Indiana has a population of 819,537 and is the state's second largest urban area after the Indianapolis Metropolitan Area.

Bureau of Economic Analysis (Department of Commerce) lists Evansville as 315 and change in 2015.

I would guess any discrepancy is how many surrounding counties are included. The 315k number is statistically correct.

I was wondering about the Cedar Falls/Waterloo at 170+ considering CF is 40k and Waterloo is about 68k. Turns out according to Wikipedia the metro consists of 3 counties in the area. So I guess it is accurate. :huh:
