city ------- pop --- metro
NY---------8m------19m
Chicago----2.5m----9.5m
LA---------3.8m----12.8m
Toronto----2.6m----6m
Van--------0.6m----2.3m
but then you have places like calgary that are stand alone
Calgary----1.1m----1.2m

In a lot of cases, it's difficult to separate the City from the Metro. I mean, I've lived in Burnaby my whole life, but whenever I meet new people from abroad or I'm travelling I'm from Vancouver.
In this case, though, it's for tracking crime statistics, so it'd be like the VPD announcing a drug-bust-free day. ...Actually that's a pretty good analogy. Just about as likely as a violence free day in NY. There is hope after all.
