Statistical area (United States)
The
United States federal government
defines and delineates the nation's
metropolitan areas
for statistical purposes, using a set of standard
statistical area
definitions. As of 2013, the U.S.
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) defined and delineated 388
metropolitan statistical areas
(MSAs) and 541
micropolitan statistical areas
(µSAs) in the United States and Puerto Rico. Many of these 929 MSAs and µSAs are, in turn, components of larger
combined statistical areas
(CSAs) consisting of adjacent MSAs and µSAs that are linked by
commuting
ties; as of 2013, 524 metropolitan and micropolitan areas are components of the 169 defined CSAs.
