Metropolitan Area Characteristics & Trends
  -- assessing competitive position and change
  -- expanding insights through data analytics
  -- examining components of change characteristics

May 2019 .. More than 93-percent of the total U.S. population live in metropolitan areas. 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 geographic-demographic-economic make-up of these areas vary widely and changes often.

Use tools and data provided here to examine how the U.S. by metro population is changing ... is the population moving away or into metros of interest? What are the trends; what is causing the change? What are the characteristics of the population moving in and out? How might this impact your living environment and business?

Metro changing dynamics ... 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. ... into 2013, the new OMB metropolitan area delineations change the structure of the Charlotte metro from 5 to 10 counties. Based on total population, the Charlotte metro advances from 33rd largest (2010 vintage metro) to 25th largest (2013 vintage metro). Use the ProximityOne Situation & Outlook to assess the what, when and where of change and the impact of change.

1930 Census Metropolitan Districts

From the Census Bureau Fifteenth Census of the United States: 1930 Metropolitan Districts report, "Ninety-six metropolitan districts have been established, each having an aggregate population of 100,000 or more, and containing one or more central cities of 50,000 or more inhabitants. No metropolitan district was established for those cities which did not have in the central city and surrounding area a population of at least 100,000. The metropolitan districts are designated by the name of the central city, or in those cases where the area includes two or more important cities no one of which can properly be regarded as the central clominant city, by the combined names of such cities. While the aggregate area of the metropolitan districts is only 1.2 per cent of the total land area of the United States, the population of these districts is· nearly 45 per cent of the total population."

About Metropolitan Areas ... goto top
The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) delineates metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas according to standards applied to Census Bureau and related data. A metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area has a core area containing a substantial population nucleus, together with adjacent areas having a high degree of economic and social integration with that core. See 2010 Standards for Delineating Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas published in the Federal Register, Vol. 75, No. 123, June 28, 2010, pp.37245-37252, and a correction published in the Federal Register, Vol. 75, No. 129, July 7, 2010, p.39052.

The term "Core Based Statistical Area" (CBSA) refers collectively to metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas. Each CBSA must contain at least one urban area of 10,000 or more population. Each metropolitan statistical area (MSA) must have at least one urbanized area of 50,000 or more inhabitants. Each micropolitan statistical area (MISA) must have at least one urban cluster of at least 10,000 but less than 50,000 population.

The largest city in each metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area is designated a "principal city." Additional cities qualify if specified requirements are met concerning population size and employment. The title of each metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area consists of the names of up to three of its principal cities and the name of each state into which the metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area extends.

Individual CBSAs (MSAs and MISAs) are defined as one or more contiguous counties. Combined Statistical Areas (CSAs) are defined as a set of two or more contiguous CBSAs.

County Building Blocks. Current vintage metropolitan and micropolitan statistical area (CBSA) designations were announced in OMB bulletin 15-01 issued July 15, 2015. CBSA designations are updated periodically. It is anticipated that CBSA designations will not change until after Census 2020.
