	Metropolitan area
		Metropolitan areas are whole counties or combinations of counties centering on a substantial urban area.
		Despite the terminological shifts, the general concept is the same for all years: A metropolitan area (whether an SMA, SMSA, MSA, or a CMSA containing several PMSAs) is an area consisting of a large population center and adjacent communities (usually counties) that have a high degree of economic and social interaction with that center.
		Most metropolitan areas encompassed less territory during earlier years than they did in later ones, as the census reconsidered and adjusted the boundaries of each metropolitan area to account for growth during each ten-year period.
