Which statement gives the most accurate understanding of Metropolitan Primacy?

• The difference between the 2020 decennial count and the April 2020 Vintage 2025 estimates base illustrates post-enumeration statistical adjustment and series construction.
• New York’s near-flat 2024-2025 population estimate should not be generalized into a long-term trend without examining a longer same-vintage series.
• New York City’s roughly 42.9% share of statewide population in 2025 demonstrates metropolitan primacy without demographic majority.
• Census annual population estimates are vintage-specific statistical series, so longitudinal analysis should avoid mixing values from superseded vintages.
