August 2023 .. new 2023 CBSA/metro delineations are now available as of August 2023. See more about the 2023 delineations. Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) are officially designated by OMB and composed of one or more contiguous counties and must meet a population size criteria of associated Urban Area. CBSAs are classified as the larger Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and smaller Micropolitan Statistical Areas (MISAs). Use the interactive table below to view, rank, query 2020 vintage CBSAs by component area.

See the related section focused on 2023 vintage CBSAs.

CBSA/Metro Mapping & GeoSpatial Analysis
View and examine the 2020 and 2023 vintage CBSAs using the VDA Web GIS with the MetroDynamics GIS project. Examine metros in context of other geography. Click here to start VDA Web GIS; uses a browser, nothing to install. Use the spreadsheet/grid feature to examine the metros in a tabular manner.

Two VDA GIS MetroDynamics Projects
VDA GIS users may select from two similar but different MetroDynamics projects.
Select either of these projects using the Project Manager screen after login.
  • MetroDynamics 2020
      - start-up view U.S. by 2020 CBSA/MSA
      - a focus on subject matter tabulated for 2020 vintage CBSAs.
  • MetroDynamics 2023
      - start-up view Fresno CA MSA -- comparing/contrasting 2020/2023 CBSAs
      - still includes 2020 vintage CBSAs and Census 2020 & ACS 2021 subject matter.
      - a focus on subject matter tabulated for 2023 vintage CBSAs.
      - Census will not produce Census 2020, ACS 2021 or ACS 2022 (September 2023) data for 2023 CBSAs.
      - ProximityOne will produce Census 2020, ACS 2021 or ACS 2022 data for 2023 CBSAs.
          .. providing access as files and via VDA GIS tools

Comparing Fresno, CA MSA 2020 and 2023 Vintages
The graphic below shows the MetroDynamics 2023 GIS project using VDA Web GIS.
Many CBSAs changed between the 2020 and 2023 delineations. County(s) comprising the CBSA increased or decreased while others remained the same. The following graphic illustrates how the Fresno, CA MSA changed from one county in 2020 (black boundary) to two counties based on the 2023 delineation (bolder brown boundary). The Madera County, CA MSA was a separate MSA based on the 2020 delineation and no longer exists as a separate MSA based on the 2023 delineations.


More than 93-percent of the total U.S. population live in metropolitan areas. Unlike most states and many 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. This section provides resources, tools to examine/analyze metropolitan area geographic, demographic, economic characteristics and patterns. How might change in metros affect your organization and stakeholders? Use the interactive table below to view, query, sort, rank metros on your selected criteria.

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 2020 Standards for Delineating Core Based Statistical Areas published in the Federal Register.

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 are comprised of county building blocks as defined by OMB and updated from time-to-time.
