I just watched a video that said new York city had a population of 8.8 million as of the 2020 census but had a metro population of over 26 million? I don’t really understand where they got that 26 million from. Another example, LA, had a population of around 3.8 million but a metro population of over 9 million. Where do they get those metro area figures from?

A city has a defined area. Next to the city are other towns, each with their own defined area. Due to their proximity to the city, much of life in these towns is intertwined with life in the city. The city and the surrounding towns are collectively referred to as the metropolitan area of the city.
