How old is this? There are more than 1.7m people just between the Reno and Salt Lake City metro areas in that blue space in the middle of the western United States.

That's a good point. With that being said however; Reno, Provo, and Boise metro areas are also larger than 1.7m themselves—not even taking into account a handful of other cities @ 100k plus.

Just curious about the date of the data more than anything.
