. The OMB defines a Combined Statistical Area as an aggregate of adjacent
concepts defined by the OMB. The population of a Combined Statistical Area is greater than any of its (often similarly named) constituent Core Based Statistical Areas. Many metropolitan areas such as Miami, Phoenix, San Diego,
Tampa, Portland, Jacksonville, San Antonio, and Virginia Beach have only a single urban core, and thus have no associated CSA. In addition, the U.S. Census Bureau only considers the U.S. resident population of metropolitan areas such as San Diego, El Paso, Detroit, and Buffalo. The bureau does not count people living
the United States, but not actually in the country, such as Canadians living near Detroit or Buffalo, or Mexicans living near El Paso or San Diego.
The following sortable table lists the 125 Combined Statistical Areas (CSAs) of the United States with the following information:
