US metropolitan areas 2007

The table below lists 306 US metropolitan areas ranked by population according to US Census Bureau estimates for July 2007. A metro area designated as a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is defined as a county with a central city with a population of at least 50,000, including adjacent counties if they are economically and socially integrated with the central city by significant levels of employment and commuting.

A Combined Statistical Area (CSA) is a core MSA along with one or more adjacent MSAs or smaller Micropolitan Statistical Areas. For example, the New York CSA is equivalent to what is known as greater New York and includes northern New Jersey along with small portions of Connecticut and Pennsylvania.

Note: the 2000 pop in the table is taken from the 2000 Census for the counties that are used in the 2007 estimate.
