In 2023, the metropolitan area of New York-Newark-Jersey City had the biggest population in the United States. Based on annual estimates from the census, the metropolitan area had around 19.5 million inhabitants, which was a slight decrease from the previous year. The Los Angeles and Chicago metro areas rounded out the top three. What is a metropolitan statistical area? In general, a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is a core urbanized area with a population of at least 50,000 inhabitants – the smallest MSA is Carson City, with an estimated population of nearly 56,000. The urban area is made bigger by adjacent communities that are socially and economically linked to the center. MSAs are particularly helpful in tracking demographic change over time in large communities and allow officials to see where the largest pockets of inhabitants are in the country. How many MSAs are in the United States? There were 421 metropolitan statistical areas across the U.S. as of July 2021. The largest city in each MSA is designated the principal city and will be the first name in the title. An additional two cities can be added to the title, and these will be listed in population order based on the most recent census. So, in the example of New York-Newark-Jersey City, New York has the highest population, while Jersey City has the lowest. The U.S. Census Bureau conducts an official population count every ten years, and the new count is expected to be announced by the end of 2030.

This statistic provides projected figures for the Gross Metropolitan Product (GMP) of the United States in 2021, by metropolitan area. Only the 100 leading metropolitan areas are shown here. In 2022, the GMP of the New York-Newark-Jersey City metro area is projected to be around of about 2.16 trillion U.S. dollars.

Los Angeles metropolitan area

A metropolitan area in the U.S. is characterized by a relatively high population density and close economic ties through the area, albeit, without the legal incorporation that is found within cities. The Gross Metropolitan Product is measured by the Bureau of Economic Analysis under the U.S. Department of Commerce and includes only metropolitan areas. The GMP of the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metropolitan area located in California is projected to be among the highest in the United States in 2021, amounting to 1.1 trillion U.S. dollars. The Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, Texas metro area is estimated to be approximately 543 billion U.S. dollars in the same year.

This layer was developed by the Research & Analytics Division of the Atlanta Regional Commission to represent the United States Census Bureau's 2000 Decennial Census at the block group geography.Attributes:FIPSSTCO = The Federal Information Processing Series (FIPS) state and county codes. FIPS codes were formerly known as Federal Information Processing Standards codes, until the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced its decision in 2005 to remove geographic entity codes from its oversight. The Census Bureau continues to maintain and issue codes for geographic entities covered under FIPS oversight, albeit with a revised meaning for the FIPS acronym. Geographic entities covered under FIPS include states, counties, congressional districts, core based statistical areas, places, county subdivisions, subminor civil divisions, consolidated cities, and all types of American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian areas. FIPS codes are assigned alphabetically according to the name of the geographic entity and may change to maintain alphabetic sort when new entities are created or names change. FIPS codes for specific geographic entity types are usually unique within the next highest level of geographic entity with which a nesting relationship exists. For example, FIPS state, congressional district, and core based statistical area codes are unique within nation; FIPS county, place, county subdivision, and subminor civil division codes are unique within state. The codes for American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian areas also are unique within state; those areas in multiple states will have different codes for each state.TRACT = Census Tract Codes and Numbers. Census tracts are identified by an up to four-digit integer number and may have an optional two-digit suffix; for example 1457.02 or 23. The census tract codes consist of six digits with an implied decimal between the fourth and fifth digit corresponding to the basic census tract number but with leading zeroes and trailing zeroes for census tracts without a suffix. The tract number examples above would have codes of 145702 and 002300, respectively.GROUP_ = Block Group Codes. Block Groups have a valid code range of 0 through 9. Block Groups beginning with a zero only contain water area and are generally in coastal and Great Lakes water and territorial seas, but also in larger inland water bodies. STFID = A concatenation of FIPSSTCO, TRACT, and GROUP_, which creates the entire FIPS code for this geography.POP100 = The population of the Block Group at the time of the census.HU100 = The number of housing units in the Block group at the time of the census.WFD = Workforce Development Area (WFD) is a seven-county area created by agreement of county chief-elected officials, administered by the Atlanta Regional Commission and funded for training and employment activities under the federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA). For more information on ARC’s Workforce Development programs and services please consult www.atlantaregional.com/workforce/workforce.html.RDC_AAA = ARC Area Agency on Aging is a 10-county area funded by the Department of Human Resources and designated by the Older Americans Act to plan for the needs of the rapidly expanding group of older citizens in the Atlanta region. It is part of a statewide network of 12 AAAs and a national network of more than 670 AAAs. For more information on aging services please consult www.agewiseconnection.com.MNGWPD = The Metro North Georgia Water Planning District provides water resource plans, policies and coordination for metropolitan Atlanta. The District has developed regional plans for stormwater management, wastewater treatment and water supply and water conservation. The 15-county Water Planning District includes the ten counties in the ARC plus five additional counties (Bartow, Coweta, Forsyth, Hall, & Paulding). For more information please consult www.northgeorgiawater.org. MPO = The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is a 19-county area federally-designated for regional transportation planning to meet air quality standards and for programming projects to implement the adopted Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The MPO planning area boundary includes the 10-county state-designated Regional Commission and nine additional counties (all of Coweta, Forsyth, & Paulding and parts of Barrow, Dawson, Newton, Pike, Spalding and Walton). This boundary takes into consideration both the current urbanized area as well as areas forecast to become urbanized in the next 20 years.MSA = the 29-County “Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA” Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and the 39-county “Atlanta--Athens-Clarke County--Sandy Springs, GA” Combined Statistical Area (CSA), which includes the 29 counties of the Atlanta MSA along with the Athens-Clarke County and Gainesville MSAs and the micropolitan statistical areas of Calhoun, Cedartown, Jefferson, LaGrange and Thomaston, GA. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) defines CSAs, MSAs and the smaller micropolitan statistical areas nationwide according to published standards applied to U.S. Census Bureau data. These various statistical areas describe substantial core areas of population together with adjacent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration, often illustrated in high rates of commuting from the adjacent areas to job locations in the core. For more information, please consult http://www.census.gov/population/metro/data/metrodef.htmlF1HR_NA = The Federal 1-Hour Air Quality Non-Attainment Area is a fine particulate matter standard (PM2.5). The non-attainment area under this standard includes the 15-county eight-hour ozone nonattainment area plus Barrow, Carroll, Hall, Spalding, Walton, and small parts of Heard and Putnam counties.F8HR_NA: The Federal 8-Hour Air Quality Non-Attainment Area for the 2008 eight-hour ozone standard is 15 counties.ACRES = The number of acres contained within the Block Group.SQ_MILES = The number of square miles contained within the Block Group.Source: United States Census Bureau, Atlanta Regional CommissionDate: 2000For additional information, please visit the Atlanta Regional Commission at www.atlantaregional.com.
