Metro/Micropolitan Area Name Changes

I have updated the names used in the table to reflect changes made by the Office of Management and Budget on November 20, 2007. The former names were used in the latest Census Bureau population estimates (as of July 1, 2007) and will change to the present names at the next update.^[1] --Acntx (talk) 13:33, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2008 population estimates

I updated the table with United States Census Bureau estimates for July 1, 2008. Please do not alter the table. I reduced the length of this article to 161 KiB. I will update the table with the Census Bureau estimates for July 1, 2009, about March 31, 2010. Yours aye, Buaidh (talk) 16:34, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OMB Bulletin 10-02

This page links to OMB Bulletin 10-02. However, this bulletin does not even mention the term "Core Based Statistical Area" or "CBSA", only metropolitan and micropolitan statistical area. Although it appears to be a list of CBSAs, it does not say so. If it is referring to CBSAs, I think there should be a source saying they're equivalent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.255.157.50 (talk) 16:31, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Statistical area which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 17:55, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CBSA Codes

I suggest putting the CBSA codes on this chart. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.94.172.90 (talk) 17:29, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The USCB codes are being replaced by the ANSI codes. Yours aye, Buaidh 22:28, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please help relink

On February 28, 2013, the United States Office of Management and Budget defined, renamed, and redefined a large number of United States Statistical Areaa. Please help relink the red-linked Statistical Areas to the appropriate metropolitan area article. If the Statistical Area comprises only one county, please link to that county.

Would a column of "Estimated Most-Recent ({insert month-year here}) CBSA populations" be a useful addition to the table as it exists on 2018 July 04?

 Hello! When I examined the page on 2018 July 04, the last tabulated record of populations listed was from 2012. It might be helpful to have an auto-updating column, which correlates to whatever the most-recent month's estimates of each CBSA's population is.

 If possible, perhaps there is a way to automate, the addition of the "End-of-year CBSA populations", so that a column for each succeding year, is automatically created on December 31st of each year, without requiring a manual update. One would need to know whether the values being reported are estimated, or actual-record, and label the column accordingly: "Estimated End-of-Year" vs "Census-Obtained End-of-Year" [each of which, could then be foot-noted with the appropriate estimate-technique or census-report].

 Is there a Wikipedia command, that links to existing data? If so, some official data can be stored somewhere in Wikimedia Commons [probably a "designated stable statistical data area" could be set-aside in Wikimedia Commons, which is for depositing statistical & census data, but not necessarily for editing it. Then updates of statistical data could be added to the "designated stable statistical data area", which could be read by automation functions in a Wikipedia page, for incorporation of "end-of-year" population columns into Wikipedia page tables. If errors are noticed from the Wikipedia pages, Wikipedians could seek out the corrections, by requesting proper updates of the data stored in the "designated stable statistical data area".

 Anyhow, I hope such ideas will be useful, and that the automation functions will become available, so as to make it easier to establish running history of year-by-year columns of data, that do not require any one or few persons to manually look-up data for what appears to be over 900 different CBSA's in the US, as of 2018 July 04.
