What are Micropolitan Statistical Areas and Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSA)?
A micropolitan area contains a core urban area of at least 10,000 (but less than 50,000) population and includes the counties containing the core urban area, as well as any adjacent counties that have a high degree of social and economic integration (as measured by commuting to work) with the urban core. DiversityData does not provide data on micropolitan areas. Core Based Statistical Area is a collective term for both metro and micro areas.
