Great quiz!

I think it is supposed to be Lebanon, New Hampshire. There is no Lebanon, Vermont.

The Lebanon micropolitan area extends into Vermont. The percentage shown is the percentage of Vermont's population that lives within the Lebanon micropolitan area.

I'm pretty sure the Providence Metro Area doesn't cover Westerly, RI, so it shouldn't be 100, but rather 98 or so

"Metropolitan areas" according to the U.S. Census Bureau go by county border lines, which take in wildly varying distances into the boondocks, depending on the random size that a government established as a county border centuries ago.

I did not expect Salisbury, MD to appear in this quiz. Didn't even realize it's metropolitan area expands past MD borders! Great Quiz!
