Ohio Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) based on the 2000 Census

Developed by the Office of Management and Budget, Metropolitan Statistical Areas are integrated geographic regions comprised of at least one city and adjacent communities. Metropolitan Statistical Areas make it possible for Federal statistical agencies to utilize the same boundaries when publishing statistical data. See Changes in Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Area Definitions, in pdf, for information on the 2000 versus 1990 MSA definitions.
