At the same time one MISA changed status to a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) -- Enid, OK. The five new Combined Statistical Areas (CSAs) reflect continuing urban agglomeration evolvement as contiguous metros grow and join adjacent metros. How will these new metros change by 2020? 2060? relate to others? .. insights using our projections and modeling tools.
