Talk:Combined statistical area

San Diego?
This list appears to have forgotten San Diego since it's not included in the LA combined area. Or perhaps the SD metro area is not considered "combined", but it's still much larger (over 3 million people) than most of these statistical areas that are included (because they are "combined" metro areas where SD is not part of a combined area -- seems a bit silly). 2603:8000:A800:B0BD:A4F7:17D8:6E38:B5A (talk) 03:34, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Correct. The San Diego MSA does not combined with any other American metropolitan area to create a combined statistical area. --Criticalthinker (talk) 04:37, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Austin is missing from the list
What gives? 136.62.181.15 (talk) 18:29, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Springfield Massachusetts metropolitan area is not on list (population 699,162)
Why isn’t Springfield Massachusetts on this list? 72.226.103.144 (talk) 23:15, 5 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Because it does not meet the criteria to form a combined statistical area with another metropolitan area/NECTA. There is a map included on this very article to show you which metros comined for an CSA; the criteria for what constitutes a CSA are also explained.

Tampa Bay
Missing. What a list! Izcool21 (talk) 09:43, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

The Tampa Bay area has been left off this list
The Tampa Bay area has been left off this list even though Wikipedia's entry on Tampa lists it as the 18th largest combined statistical area in the U.S.! "The Tampa Bay area is a major metropolitan area surrounding Tampa Bay on the Gulf Coast of Florida in the United States. It includes the main cities of Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater. It is the 18th-largest metropolitan area in the United States, with a population of 3,175,275 as of the 2020 U.S. Census." This should definitely be corrected!!

 * There is a map on the article showing the CSAs. Tampa does not combined with any other MSA or micropolitan statistical area to former a CSA. Before you all keep coming saying an area is "missing" from the chart, please read the article and/or look at the map. No area is "missing" fromt his list.

Columbia MO CSA
The list seems to have the incorrect population for the Columbia MO CSA. Namely, Jefferson City MO is a MSA specifically not in a CSA whereas the chart seems to have combined the Jeff City MSA and Columbia MO MSA populations together. Millbrooky (talk) 23:28, 5 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Never mind, found the 2023 delineation files that show the changes to the CSA which now includes Jefferson City. Millbrooky (talk) 23:47, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
