Statistical areas
The
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has designated more than 1,000
statistical areas for the
United States and
Puerto Rico.
These statistical areas are important geographic delineations of population clusters used by the OMB, the
United States Census Bureau, planning organizations, and federal, state, and local government entities.
The OMB defines a
core-based statistical area

(commonly referred to as a
CBSA) as "a statistical geographic entity consisting of the
county or counties (or
county-equivalents) associated with at least one core of at least 10,000 population, plus adjacent counties having a high degree of social and economic integration with the core as measured through commuting ties with the counties containing the core."
[ The OMB further divides core-based statistical areas into metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) that have "a population of at least 50,000" and micropolitan statistical areas (μSAs) that have "a population of at least 10,000, but less than 50,000."][
