That GDP number is way off. 1.5B / 1 million people is 1,500$ per person. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._metropolitan_area... Gives 146B in 2018.

That’s 350M number is also extremely suspect, at a minimum including existing city residents as the hotel reservations are vastly below attendance.

Still even assuming that 350M was correct and not ridiculously inflated it’s 350/146,000 = 0.2%.
