Yes, along with Miami, Phoenix, San Diego and Tampa...our biggest 'unattached' MSAs.

Let me take a look see...

I wonder how much of the changes on that chart were due to movement from the latter to the former?

Perhaps this is a dumb question and sorry to interrupt but what is the difference in CSA and MSA? I thought I knew but now I am seeing Austin as a CSA and always thought it was only a MSA and CSA's were more for cities like Dallas with Fort Worth, or LA with Riverside and that sort of stuff. The Austin CSA number looks just like the MSA number so since both the CSA and MSA numbers are the same why have both?

Anyway, sorry for the silly question. Thanks a ton for those list and all of the hard work put into them dimondpark!

CSAs are simple a broader definition for an area. The commuter percentage threshold is lower. Counties that are included in a CSA, but not an MSA, are typically just tangentially related to the central city (hush, hush on that - the census bureau and the OMB stupidly want to scrap the central city concept).

For instance, the Austin CSA adds one county to the Austin MSA: Burnet County. Marble Falls (the major population center there) has only a marginal relationship to Austin, but it is a relationship nonetheless. It's just that that relationship is not as strong as either San Marcos (Hays County) or Round Rock/Georgetown (Williamson County).

Dallas-Fort Worth is a single metropolitan area. It is broken into two Metropolitan Divisions: Dallas and Fort Worth-Arlington. Dallas-Fort Worth does have a CSA, but it isn't because Fort Worth was suddenly added to Dallas.

Unless everyone in West Virginia disappeared for the census (always possible... many caves...), DC's growth was very extensive this decade and, numerically, similar to Phoenix and Atlanta's (and that is a major wow when you think about it; I never considered DC to be such a boom town this past decade). I think the strong #s for Washington have very much to do with the recession's relatively minimal effects on the region, compared to economies like Phoenix and Atlanta. The 2000 population of DC/Baltimore's CSA was 7,572,647 FWIW.

Basically DC's CSA is now (likely) less than one million from approaching Chicago's CSA, which added fewer than half as many residents as DC. While current trends may not continue, DC could be roughly comparable in size to Chicago by 2030 or so.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding the officially completed designation you have provided. It seems to me that the CSA'a you are using are based on 2003 designation. Don't we have to wait until OMB releases the updated CSA to really have a designation of 'officially completed'?

Its nothing...other people did the hard work of adding up the CSA counties.

Anyhow,
Austin was combined with Burnet County, TX which is a seperate Micropolitan Area also known as Marble Falls, TX Micropolitan Area. Not connected enough to be a single MSA but close enough to be joined in a single CSA.

True, but these are the CSA populations as of the Census date.

The OMB will make its changes later but we can still add them up based on their current boundaries.

Also, there are updates made every year. Austin for example became a CSA a few years ago but we can still manually look up the components and add them up.

[hudkina]

The new Metropolitan standards won't be finalized for at least two years. In the meantime, we can use the most up to date standards.

[Somnio]

This PDF from the OMB contains the most up to date definitions available...

Ah, ok. Thanks guys. I had no idea that Marble Falls had been added to that. I go out there all the time and love it out there. Beautiful area but I wish they hadn't done that. The Hill Country is so beautiful I would hate to see it get even more sucked in by Austin and have more housing or other things built that could distract from the beauty and fun to be had out there.

Marble Falls will never be built out in a suburban fashion. You can rest assured in that it is both too far from Austin and too expensive an area for massive development.

You might be right. I don't know Marble Falls. But, I see it is only 48 miles from Austin with Lake Travis area in between. Cities that grow quickly in a sprawl fashion can easily go that far. And unless it is protected somehow, being an expensive, desirable area won't stop it from being developed.

Hey Diamond Park- I hope you were kidding in listing the NYC's Metro CSA numbers? If not, you're off by about 13 MILLION people and in case you didn't already know it... NYC Metro's CSA will be way ahead at number one at over 22 Million (about 19.5 Million for MSA).

That's because the Census Bureau has not released New York's numbers yet (and seems to be saving it to be the very last state). New York is on there mostly as a placeholder value: a good way to show that the New Jersey and Connecticut suburbs alone are nearly as populous as Chicagoland.

Yeah, that makes more sense or at least he should have put a fote note to explain. In either case the NYC population is infamous for low repsonse rates in the census hence there are always challenges to the Fed numbers. I suspect it'll be no different this time and we'll see Bloomberg/Cuomo out there demanding revisions!
