Table Of United States Combined Statistical Areas
The United States Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has defined 166 Combined Statistical Areas (CSAs) for the United States and three for Puerto Rico. The OMB defines a Combined Statistical Area as an aggregate of adjacent Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) (either Metropolitan Statistical Areas or Micropolitan Statistical Areas) that are linked by commuting ties.
The Combined Statistical Area is the most extensive of the metropolitan area concepts defined by the OMB. The population of a Combined Statistical Area is the sum of its (often similarly named) constituent Core Based Statistical Areas. Many other metropolitan areas such as Phoenix, San Diego, Tampa and San Antonio have only a single urban core, and thus have no associated CSA. In addition, the U.S. Census Bureau considers only the U.S. resident population of metropolitan areas adjacent to international borders, such as Detroit, San Diego, Buffalo, and El Paso. The bureau does not count people living near 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.

“Remember thee?
Ay, thou poor ghost, whiles memory holds a seat
In this distracted globe. Remember thee?
Yea, from the table of my memory
I’ll wipe away all trivial fond records,
All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past
That youth and observation copied there,
And thy commandment all alone shall live
Within the book and volume of my brain,”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“When the painted birds laugh in the shade,
When our table with cherries and nuts is spread:
Come live, and be merry, and join with me
To sing the sweet chorus of ‘Ha, ha, he!’”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“I think those Southern writers [William Faulkner, Carson McCullers] have analyzed very carefully the buildup in the South of a special consciousness brought about by the self- condemnation resulting from slavery, the humiliation following the War Between the States and the hope, sometimes expressed timidly, for redemption.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“Living en famille provides the strongest motives for rudeness combined with the maximum opportunity for displaying it.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
“The point is, that the function of the novel seems to be changing; it has become an outpost of journalism; we read novels for information about areas of life we don’t know—Nigeria, South Africa, the American army, a coal-mining village, coteries in Chelsea, etc. We read to find out what is going on. One novel in five hundred or a thousand has the quality a novel should have to make it a novel—the quality of philosophy.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
