I agree. Even worse are the CSA designations, an example in Ohio is Lima with a population of 36,000, and having a CSA designation, while Toledo having about 280,000 population and having no CMSA designation. Also, Ottawa county is only 20 miles from downtown Toledo, and is not connected to Toledo's MSA, yet they are a part of the Cleveland-Akron-Canton CMSA, with Cleveland 70 miles away and Akron/Canton 95 miles away. If this is standard OMB CSA delineation, then what is the purpose of CMSA's.
