. At that time, the μSA was redefined to consist solely of Mason County, and was also added as part of the Cincinnati-Wilmington-Maysville Combined Statistical Area. As of the 2000 census, the μSA, which then consisted of Mason and Lewis Counties, had a population of 30,892 (though a July 1, 2009 estimate placed the population at 31,130).

Additionally, Maysville was removed from the newly renamed Cincinnati–Wilmington, OH–KY–IN Combined Statistical Area.
