State and Metropolitan Area Data Book: 2010 C-1U.S. Census Bureau

Geographic Concepts

STATES

States are the major political units of the United States. The District of Columbia is treated as a state equivalent in this publication. Tables A-1 through A-84 present data for the United States, the 50 states, and the District of Columbia.

For census purposes, states are often grouped into geo-graphic regions and divisions. For reference, these areas are delineated on the state map on the inside of the front cover. However, Table A only uses an alphabetical state presentation.

METROPOLITAN AND MICROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS

The U.S. Offi ce of Management and Budget (OMB) defi nes metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas according to published standards that are applied to U.S. Census Bureau data. The general concept of a metropolitan or mic-ropolitan statistical area is that of a core area containing a substantial population nucleus, together with adjacent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration with that core. The term “core based statistical area” (CBSA) refers collectively to metropolitan and micro-politan statistical areas.

The major purpose of CBSAs is to enable all federal agen-cies to use the same geographic defi nitions in tabulating and publishing data for metropolitan and micropolitan areas. The defi nitions are designed to serve a wide vari-ety of statistical and analytical purposes; adoption of the area for any specifi c purpose should be judged in terms of appropriateness for that purpose. While the defi nitions have been developed for statistical use by federal agencies, state and local governments as well as private business fi rms have often found the defi nitions helpful in presenting data for metropolitan and micropolitan areas.

The offi cial 2000 Standards for Defi ning Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas may be found on the OMB Web site at <http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/fedreg/metroareas122700.pdf\>. OMB Bulletin 08-01, which was issued on November 20, 2007, provides the listing of met-ropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas found in this publication; this document and related documents may be found at <http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/assets/omb/bulletins/fy2008/b08-01.pdf\>.

Metropolitan areas presented in tables B-1 through B-14 and C-1 through C-4 and micropolitan areas presented in table D-1 of this publication are those county-based areas defi ned originally as of June 6, 2003, and updated on November 20, 2007. A series of maps showing these areas appears on pages C-4 to C-15.

Historical development. In 1910, the Census Bureau introduced “metropolitan districts” as an area classifi cation. This marked the fi rst use by the Census Bureau of a unit for reporting population data for large cities, together with their suburbs. Originally, only cities of at least 200,000 popula-tion were designated as the core of a metropolitan district. By 1940, the concept had been expanded to apply to a city of 50,000 or more inhabitants. The metropolitan district was generally defi ned to include contiguous minor civil divisions (MCDs) and incorporated places having a population den-sity of at least 150 persons per square mile; therefore, the boundaries did not necessarily follow county lines.

A major limitation of the metropolitan district concept, from the standpoint of statistical presentation, was that not many data items beyond those available from the census of population and housing were available for MCDs and smaller places. The applicability of the metropolitan district concept also was limited because other generally similar area classifi cations were in use (e.g., the industrial areas of the census of manufactures and the labor market areas of the Labor Department’s Employment and Training Administration), which were defi ned in diff erent ways.

The standard metropolitan area (SMA) concept was devel-oped in 1949 by the Bureau of the Budget (now OMB), with the advice of the newly established Federal Committee on Standard Metropolitan Areas, to overcome the above diffi -culties. It was designed so that a wide variety of statistical data on metropolitan areas might be presented for a uni-form set of geographic areas. The SMAs consisted of one or more contiguous counties containing at least one city of 50,000 or more inhabitants. Additional counties had to meet certain criteria of metropolitan character and of social and economic integration with the central county in order to be included in an SMA.

Changes in the offi cial criteria have been made at the time of each census since 1950. None of these changes have involved signifi cant deviations from the basic metropolitan concept. Several modifi cations have been made in the rules for determining how large a city must be to have a metro-politan division defi ned. Criteria changes also have been made to refl ect changing national conditions. For example,

Appendix C.Geographic Concepts

C-2 State and Metropolitan Area Data Book: 2010 U.S. Census Bureau

the 1949 rule specifi ed that a county must have less than 25 percent of its workers engaged in agriculture. However, with a rapidly decreasing proportion of the population engaged in farming, this requirement has been eliminated because practically no counties are still aff ected by it. In 1959, the designation “standard metropolitan area” was changed to “standard metropolitan statistical area” (SMSA) to emphasize the nature and purpose of the areas. The SMSA designation was changed to the MSA/CMSA/PMSA designations in June 1983. The term “core based statistical area” (CBSA) was adopted in 2000 and refers collectively to metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas.

Currently defi ned metropolitan and micropolitan statisti-cal areas are based on application of 2000 standards that appeared in the Federal Register on December 27, 2000, to 2000 decennial census data. Current metropolitan and micropolitan statistical area defi nitions were announced by OMB eff ective June 6, 2003, and subsequently updated. The lists of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas defi nitions may be found at <http://www.census.gov/population/www/metroareas/metrodef.html>.

Defi ning metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas. The 2000 standards provide that each CBSA must contain at least one urban area of 10,000 or more popula-tion. Each metropolitan statistical area must have at least one urbanized area of 50,000 or more inhabitants. Each micropolitan statistical area must have at least one urban cluster of at least 10,000 but less than 50,000 population.

Under the standards, the county (or counties) in which at least 50 percent of the population resides within urban areas of 10,000 or more population, or that contain at least 5,000 people residing within a single urban area of 10,000 or more population, is identifi ed as a “central county” (counties). Additional “outlying counties” are included in the CBSA if they meet specifi ed requirements of commuting to or from the central counties. Counties or equivalent enti-ties form the geographic “building blocks” for metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.

If specifi ed criteria are met, a metropolitan statistical area containing a single core with a population of 2.5 million or more may be subdivided to form smaller groupings of counties referred to as “metropolitan divisions.”

Principal cities and metropolitan and micropolitan statistical area titles. The largest city in each metropoli-tan or micropolitan statistical area is designated a “princi-pal city.” Additional cities qualify if specifi ed 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. Titles of metropolitan divisions also typically are based on principal city names but in certain cases consist of county names.

Defi ning New England city and town areas. In view of the importance of cities and towns in New England, the 2000 standards also provide for a set of geographic areas that are defi ned using cities and towns in the six New England states. The New England city and town areas (NECTAs) are defi ned using the same criteria as metropoli-tan and micropolitan statistical areas and are identifi ed as either metropolitan or micropolitan, based, respectively, on the presence of either an urbanized area of 50,000 or more population or an urban cluster of at least 10,000 but less than 50,000 population. If the specifi ed criteria are met, a NECTA containing a single core with a population of at least 2.5 million may be subdivided to form smaller group-ings of cities and towns referred to as New England city and town area divisions.

Changes in defi nitions over time. Changes in the defi nitions of these statistical areas since the 1950 census have consisted chiefl y of:

• The recognition of new areas as they reached the mini-mum required city or urbanized area population

• The addition of counties (or cities and towns in New England) to existing areas as new decennial census data showed them to qualify.

• In some instances, formerly separate areas have been merged, components of an area have been transferred from one area to another, or components have been dropped from an area. The large majority of changes have taken place on the basis of decennial census data. However, Census Bureau data serve as the basis for intercensal updates in specifi ed circumstances.

Because of these historical changes in geographic defi ni-tions, users must be cautious in comparing data for these statistical areas from diff erent dates. For some purposes, comparisons of data for areas as defi ned at given dates may be appropriate; for other purposes, it may be prefer-able to maintain consistent area defi nitions. Historical metropolitan area defi nitions are available for 1999, 1993, 1990, 1983, 1981, 1973, 1970, 1963, 1960, and 1950.

Special metropolitan area notes found in this publi-cation. This report includes metropolitan statistical areas and consolidated metropolitan statistical areas defi ned by the Offi ce of Management and Budget as of June 6, 2003, and updated in November 2007. There are 363 metropoli-tan statistical areas and 577 micropolitan statistical areas in the United States. In addition, there are eight metropoli-tan statistical areas and fi ve micropolitan statistical areas in Puerto Rico not covered in this publication.

There are two metropolitan areas that we want to spe-cially note for users. First, the Denver, CO, metropolitan had the special case involving the newly created county of Broomfi eld. Broomfi eld County, CO, was formed from parts of Adams, Boulder, Jeff erson, and Weld Counties, CO, on


November 15, 2001, and is coextensive with Broomfi eld city. For purposes of defi ning and presenting data for metropolitan statistical areas, Broomfi eld City is treated as if it were a county at the time of the 1990 and 2000 censuses. The other area is the St. Louis, MO-IL area. A por-tion of Sullivan city in Crawford County, MO, is legally part of the St. Louis, MO-IL MSA. Census 2000 tabulations and intercensal estimates for the St. Louis, MO-IL metropolitan statistical area do not include this small area.

COUNTIES

The primary political divisions of most states are termed “counties,” which are the basic building blocks for metro-politan areas. In Louisiana, these divisions are known as “parishes.” In Alaska, which has no counties, the county equivalents are the organized “boroughs” and the “census

areas” that are delineated for statistical purposes by the State of Alaska and the Census Bureau. In four states (Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia), there are one or more cities that are independent of any county organiza-tion and thus constitute primary divisions of their states. These cities are known as “independent cities” and are treated as equivalent to counties for statistical purposes. The District of Columbia has no primary divisions, and the entire area is considered equivalent to a county for statisti-cal purposes.

Tables C-1 through C-4 present data for the 363 metropoli-tan statistical areas and their 1,092 component counties defi ned as of November 2007. Table D-1 presents data for the 577 micropolitan statistical areas and their 694 coun-ties likewise defi ned as of November 2007.
