	Metropolitan Statistical Area
		Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) reflect the efforts of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to map some popular images (such as New York as a metropolis, or “Greater Philadelphia”;) using urban census data.
		Adjacent counties may be included in the MSA if they meet certain criteria of integration into the metropolitan area.
		The sprawling Chicago urbanized area is populous enough to characterize a Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA).

	Compressed Mortality: N C H S - Urban-Rural Classification Scheme Methodology
		One difference between the 2000 standards for metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas and previous standards is that the 2000 standards use urbanized areas to identify metropolitan areas, whereas previous standards relied primarily on incorporated cities, and, less commonly, urbanized areas to identify metropolitan areas.
		Counties in a metropolitan statistical area of 250,000 to 999,999 population

	Resource Reference Sheet - Metropolitan Statistical Areas
		The term "metropolitan areas" is used to generally describe an area containing a large population center and adjacent communities that have a high degree of integration with that population center.

	United States metropolitan area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		MSAs are used for official purposes but they are not the only estimates of metro area populations available.
		As of February 2005, there is now an additional classification, that of a “Metropolitan Division.” The term Metropolitan Division is used to refer to a county or group of counties within a Metropolitan Statistical Area that has a population core of at least 2.5 million.
		While a Metropolitan Division is a subdivision of a larger Metropolitan Statistical Area, it often functions as a distinct social, economic, and cultural area within the larger region.

	2004 Illinois Statistical Abstract
		The general concept of a metropolitan 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.
		Currently defined metropolitan statistical areas are based on application of 2000 standards (which appeared in the Federal Register on December 27, 2000) to 2000 decennial census data.
		OMB has been responsible for the official metropolitan areas since they were first defined, except for the period 1977 to 1981, when they were the responsibility of the Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards, Department of Commerce.

		Metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas consist of one or more counties.

		Additional outlying counties qualify to be included in the MSA by meeting certain other criteria of metropolitan character, such as a specified minimum population density or percentage of the population that is urban.
		An area becomes a CMSA if it meets the requirements to qualify as a metropolitan statistical area, has a population of 1,000,000 or more, if component parts are recognized as primary metropolitan statistical areas, and local opinion favors the designation.
		If an area meets the requirements to qualify as a metropolitan statistical area and has a population of one million or more, two or more PMSAs may be defined within it if statistical criteria are met and local opinion is in favor.
