- New York City - 11,842 mi²
- Washington/Baltimore: 9,682 mi²
- San Francisco/SanJose - 8,791 mi²
- Seattle/Tacoma - 8,194 mi²
I hope I didn't make any mistakes, and if I can find MSA land area numbers I'll post that, too, but it was hard enough finding the land area of the CSA. I'm not exactly sure if there is a table option, here, where I could add population with area.

Wow...I'm impressed that Philadelphia is 7th in population but one of the smallest CSA's in land size. This is a very densely populated area.
