More than 93-percent of the total U.S. population live in metropolitan areas (details).
Unlike most states and counties, there is a business and demographic/economic synergy that exists
within the metro and often interacts with adjacent metros.
The demographic/economic makeup of these areas vary widely and changes often.
Consider the
Charlotte, NC-SC metro ... in 2008, construction was underway on Wachovia's $880 million headquarters.
By 2010, it was home to Duke energy. Like many other metros, Charlotte remains in transition ... in September 2011, Bank of America, based partly in Charlotte,
announced that it will cut $5 billion in annual costs by the end of 2013 and cut 30,000 jobs.
