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 metro area is s city+surrounding areas that share lots of things like culture, economy, and infrastructure, but are not the same political area. Dallas is a different city from Arlington, it has a different government, taxes, policies, and so on, but Arlington is part of the Dallas metro area.
