	United States metropolitan area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These are referred to as "Metropolitan Statistical Areas" (MSAs) and "Combined Statistical Areas." An earlier version of the MSA was the "Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area" (SMSA).
		As of November 2003, 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.

		They are drawing migrants both from rural America and from suburban areas, offering some of the cultural attractions and conveniences of towns without all the expenses and liabilities of urban sprawl.
		Micropolitan cities do not have the economic or political importance of large cities, but are nevertheless significant centers of population and production, drawing workers and shoppers from a wide local area.
		The largest of the areas, the one whose core city is Torrington, Connecticut, had a population in excess of 180,000 in 2000; Torrington's population in that year's census was only 35,202.

	Census Bureau to Track Both Metro and 'Micropolitan' Areas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Since the 1950s, the OMB has defined a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) as an urban core of at least 50,000 people, the county in which it is located, and adjacent counties linked by commuting.
		An outlying county is economically tied to a metropolitan or micropolitan area when 25 percent of its residents work in the central city or, conversely, when 25 percent of the jobs in the outlying county are filled by workers from the central county or counties.
		Adjacent core based statistical areas — either metropolitan or micropolitan in various combinations — are also designated as "combined statistical areas" if commuting patterns (using less stringent criteria than the ones used in determining metropolitan or micropolitan areas) link the two areas.

	Moscow, Idaho - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Moscow is the principal city of the Moscow, ID Micropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Latah County.
		This region which surrounds the Moscow-Pullman area, known as the Palouse, has varied geologic formations: very old intrusive granite structures, fertile fields atop rolling hills of deep loess soil deposited after the last ice age by westerly winds, and flood-worn basaltic channels.
		The first settlers came to the area in 1869 and informally named the vicinity Hog Heaven, due to the abundance of camas bulbs, a favorite fodder of pigs.

	Metropolitan Areas
		The OMB concept of a metropolitan area is that of a geographic area consisting of a large population nucleus together with adjacent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration with the nucleus.
		Areas that combine retain their own designations as metropolitan or micropolitan statistical areas (or NECTAs) within the larger combined statistical area (or combined NECTA).
		A Metropolitan Statistical Area containing a single core with a population of at least 2.5 million may be subdivided to form smaller groupings of counties referred to as Metropolitan Divisions.

	Cure for the Common Codes
		In the early 1980's there were new standards adopted that resulted in a new collection of metro area definitions: the word "Standard" was dropped and we now had entities which were called simply "Metropolitan Statistical Areas" (MSA's).
		Each MSA, PMSA and CMSA was assigned a unique 4-digit FIPS code, most of which were inherited from the SMSA of the same or similar name.
		As part of the new scheme we also got Micropolitan Statistical Areas for the first time; these are the same concept as MSA's, but with just a smaller core area requirement.

	Untitled Document
		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.
		In addition, in light of recent changes to the statistical area definitions, OMB urges federal agencies that use the statistical areas for allocating program funds to provide information to the public on their plans and schedules for using the new definitions.
