I read through a number of the "comments" at the end of that article, and I was amazed at how many "misinformed fools" think that Rochester has an 8 month long, semi-arctic, climate.......

It's sad that so many journalists don't do their job. We are so often bundled with Buffalo for our weather and economy. Back the past few decades, when Buffalo lost about 400,000 people, Rochester actually gained about 300,000. You would never know this, reading the "popular" news and magazines.

Rochester metro is up around 130K since around 1970, but point taken. The Niagara Frontier started to fall off a cliff in the 50's, then from 1970-2000 or so there was a mass outflow of folks. My dad was one of them, left in '69 for Rochester, and never looked back.
Makes sense to me why so many folks from north and west of Westchester County moved here (I'm still here on business, 'til the end of the year), over the last 20-25 years or so. Rochester remains stable, to a degree, within the economy here.

The average can be skewed by one particularly low or high price."

Rochester just misses for some of these polls. There should be another way.
Maybe have:
-above 5 million
-2-5 million
-900k-2 million
-500k-900k
Might make it easier for people if metro size maters
As mentioned, it was just a matter of not being in the top 50 biggest metro areas. Even if they did what you suggest, Rochester would still at the very least be second behind Buffalo in the 900k-2 million range.

Yes, we all know that, but cities like Grand Rapids and Syracuse aren't represented. There seems to be a trend of people wishing to leave the large metros, so it would be helpful.
BTW, Zillow is really a joke. I don't rely on their info. A few quick searches will show you.
