  U.S. Core Based Statistical Areas
U.S. Core Based Statistical Areas represents geographic entities, defined by the United States Office of Management and Budget for use by Federal statistical agencies, based on the concept of a core area with a large population nucleus, plus adjacent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration with that core.
A Core-Based Statistical Area consists of a county containing an Incorporated Place or Census Designated Place with a population of at least 10,000 along with any adjacent counties that have at least 25 percent of employed residents of the county who work in the CBSA's core or central county.
CBSA polygons are built from GDT County boundaries.

Map of the Core-Based Statistical Areas of the US Core Based Statistical Area is the official term for a functional region based around an urban center of at least 10,000 people, based on standards published by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 2000.
Areas defined on the basis of these standards applied with Census 2000 data were announced by OMB in June 2003.
In comparison, the definition of metropolitan areas in 1999, the last year areas were formed based on the 1990 rules for them, there were 284 metropolitan areas, with 19 of the areas providing 76 primary metropolitan areas (the equivalent of divisions); almost three times the number of areas overall are now recognized by the OMB.

 About Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas
The general concept of a metropolitan or micropolitan 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 "metropolitan area" (MA) was adopted in 1990 and referred collectively to metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), consolidated metropolitan statistical areas (CMSAs), and primary metropolitan statistical areas (PMSAs).
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 identified as a "central county" (counties).

Three commenters questioned the way in which the recommended standards would use urban clusters and urbanized areas as cores to qualify central counties, in particular when a core crosses county lines, but the portion of the core in one county is not sufficient to qualify that county as central.
A CBSA is a statistical geographic entity associated with at least one core of 10,000 or more population, plus adjacent territory having a high degree of social and economic integration with the core as measured by commuting ties.
The central counties associated with a particular urbanized area or urban cluster are grouped to form a single cluster of central counties for purposes of measuring commuting to and from outlying counties.

For the most part, a micropolitan area is an urban area with a population between 10,000 and 50,000 people.
A metropolitan area required a population of at least 50,000 people, but now very large areas with 2.5 million people or more can be divided into "metropolitan divisions." The standards for the CBSA codes are much less inclusive than the MSA codes were.
When the new CBSA codes were implemented, 49 new metropolitan areas and 550 micropolitan areas were created.

Under the 2000 area definitions, OMB no longer refers to counties outside of a metropolitan area as "nonmetropolitan." Any county not included in a metropolitan or micropolitan area is considered a county outside of a Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA).

 Indicators: Behind the Data - September 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Under the previous system, areas were classified as metro if they included central counties with one or more cities of at least 50,000 residents or urbanized areas of 50,000 or more residents and total area population of at least 100,000.
Under the new “core-based statistical area” system, metro areas include central counties with urbanized areas of 50,000 or more residents, regardless of total area population.
In general, lack of an urban core and low overall population density may place these counties at a disadvantage in efforts to expand and diversify their economic base.

 Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas
Metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas (metro and micro areas) are geographic entities defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for use by Federal statistical agencies in collecting, tabulating, and publishing Federal statistics.
Each metro or micro area consists of one or more counties and includes the counties containing the core urban area, as well as any adjacent counties that have a high degree of social and economic integration (as measured by commuting to work) with the urban core.
In defining metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, OMB does not attempt to anticipate or take into account any nonstatistical uses that may be made of the definitions, nor will OMB modify the definitions to meet the requirements of any nonstatistical program.

Outlying counties of Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) are determined on the basis of commuting patterns alone.
Thus, OMB cautions that Metropolitan Statistical Area and Micropolitan Statistical Area definitions should not be used to develop and implement Federal, state, and local nonstatistical programs and policies without full consideration of the effects of using these definitions for such purposes.
OMB recognizes that some legislation specifies the use of Metropolitan Statistical Areas for program purposes, including the allocation of Federal funds, and will continue to work with the Congress to clarify the foundations of these definitions and the resultant, often unintended consequences of their use for nonstatistical purposes.
