I think they base it on commuting patterns but even if you visit http://www.bea.gov/bea/regional/reis/jtw/action.cfm?tableid=27&fips=51901&format=htm&placetype=w&industry=0 you will notice that more people from Louisa commute to Charlottesville-Albemarle than those to Richmond-Henrico. If Louisa had been added to Charlottesville's MSA then the population of the MSA here would have exceeded that of Lynchburg for the first time.

The C-ville MSA (which evidently excludes Louisa for some reason) grew 7.5%. Several other items are interesting: (1) TJPD experienced '04 to '05 growth below the Va average for all counties (1.08% vs. 1.39%) (2) Annual growth which was the slowest in 4 years for the TJPD (3) Of the municipalities in the TJPD, only Louisa was above the Va average in terms of '04 to '05 growth. (4) I'll admit, last year's figures had me really worried, especially for Fluvanna, but '04 to '05 data tempers my concern a bit. I calculate the TJPD as growing 8.2% from the ’00 census to 7/05.
