Tampa is kind of a trick answer as the official name is "Tampa Bay" which of course is more than 5 letters.

Tampa Bay is a body of water. Tampa is the city.

Are you going to say "The Bay Area" is the official name for San Francisco next?

This is half right. Tampa Bay is the name of the metro area, though Tampa is the principal city of that metro area. Just as Twin Cities is the name of the metro area for Minneapolis-Saint Paul, Minneapolis is the principal city of that metro area.

Typically the metro area is just named after the principal city, so Minneapolis is the name of the metro area.

To be technical, the Census Bureau does have official names for metropolitan areas, based on their largest cities. So officially it's the Tampa–St. Petersburg–Clearwater MSA and the Minneapolis–St. Paul–Bloomington MSA.

I really expected there to be a lot more towns in Utah on this list - between Ogden, Orem, Moab, and Sandy, I would have thought at least one had 100k people in it.

Moab has about 6,000 people. I think the others are in other metros.

Now Orem and Sandy are right on the cusp, with Ogden and Lehi just behind. Moab is about 100k away from making the list. If the list was expanded a bit more we could probably see 5 Utah cities on it.

How does Mesa have over 500,000 people in the city proper but not make the list of Metro areas when the smaller Metro areas are under 250,000?
