Quiz Takers 
FYI the source site for this (citypopulation.de) doesn’t show the data for places within each area anymore, so this quiz is slightly dated and I can’t update for the time being, so some places which are now in metro areas may not show up as answers.
Please remove Wendover from Salt Lake City. It is 300 miles away. It is not part of the metro area.
The Census Bureau’s definition of going strictly by county lines is totally pointless for western states.
Gotta stick with the definition and source, even if it can be ridiculous at times.
can we get a version for combined statistical areas
https://hugequiz.com/quizzes/us-combined-statistical-areas/
already is
thats the combined statistical areas, not combined statistical area places
ahhh maybe I can get that data
There need to be a lot more time bonuses for this. Or at least tell us what the criteria are for getting the time bonuses. But even better would be to just add more of them. My strategy for quizzes like these is to start at one corner of the map and then gradually sweep my way across, thus ignoring both place names and population, and it seems like that doesn’t lend itself to getting any of the current time bonuses.
I really like the fact that Portland gives you two different areas and think that you should have that going for Augusta (GA-SC/ME) Charleston (SC/WV), Columbia (MO/SC), Rochester (MN/NY) and especially Springfield (IL/MA/MO and possibly OH and OR as well).
Portland loaded both Oregon and Maine. I didn’t try “portlandor” though.
New York seems to be missing Parsippany, South Brunswick, Belleville, Bloomfield, South Orange in New Jersey and maybe others. They did not register even if I double-checked and re-typed them.
they aren’t part of the metropolitan statistical area according to the census.
That is impossible. Belleville, Bloomfield and South Orange are much closer to NYC than many of the cities included. May I ask what source you are using?
http://citypopulation.de/USA.html – at the bottom – population of all incorporated and CDP’s in Metro Areas
Boston is missing a lot of towns (and I suspect it isn’t the only one).
Also, including CDPs really kind of ruins this for me. I liked these sorts of quizzes a lot better when you only included incorporated places.
towns should be fixed now – i removed having to put ‘town’ at the end of the town name like the census has.
Boston is still missing a lot of towns. I tried Mattapoisett, Marion, Wareham, and Carver, and none of them were accepted. There’s clearly a lot of towns missing in the outer suburbs to the north and west as well.
ah some of those have ‘center’ after the name you are trying. enter them with that afterwards.
Since the entire state is completely incorporated, there should be cities and towns from top to bottom in the surrounding Boston area, like it would be on a normal cities of Massachusetts quiz. Currently, only certain CDPs and villages like “Littleton Common” in the metro area are showing up, while a majority of towns, Littleton, North Andover, Natick, etc that fall within the metro area are not on the quiz.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Norfolk_County,_Massachusetts illustrates what the problem might be – it looks like this quiz is listing ONLY cdps, which as you can see, doesn’t actually match up with incorporated places in MA. there are many more incorporated places. I’ve never even heard of most of the CDPs that don’t share the same name as a town, and i’ve lived in the area my whole life.
also for reference: https://www.sec.state.ma.us/cis/cispdf/City_Town_Map.pdf
(though you’ve probably seen this at some point)
This quiz is still missing a large number of places, like the towns of Natick, MA and Concord, MA as an example. (How can you have West Concord, which is a named village that is a part of the Town of Concord…. but not Concord??? It’s really, really weird.)
Can you remove “Town” for the New England Towns surrounding Boston?
yeah will do
Something is up with the lists for Las Vegas…
the first time the quiz is played for a metro the results lists will look weird. after that they will be good.
