Section 34 Metropolitan Area Statistics The metropolitan areas for which statistics are presented here are those officially defined as standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's) by the U.S. Bureau of the Budget in Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas, 1967. As of July 1, 1967, there were 231 SMSA's. The 3 SMSA's in Puerto Rico, are not included here because data for most of the items selected are not available for these areas. Two tables form the basic framework of this section: Table 1 presents 144 items of information for the 110 SMSA's of 50,000 to 250,000 inhabitants or more; table 2 shows 63 items for the remaining SMSA's of 50,000 to 250,000 inhabitants. The differences in content between table 1 and table 2 are due primarily to the lack of certain data for the smaller SMSA's. For New England, data are shown here for both metropolitan State economic areas (SEA's) and SMSA's wherever it was possible to do so. SEA's consist of whole counties; SMSA's in New England, of towns and cities. SEA data are included because, for a large number of the items shown here, only county data are available to serve as a basis for providing metropolitan area figures. The Bureau of the Budget first issued definitions for metropolitan areas in 1949. The primary objective in establishing standard definitions was to make it possible for all Federal agencies to utilize the same boundaries in publishing statistical data useful for analyzing metropolitan problems. The general concept of a metropolitan area is one of an integrated economic and social unit with a recognized large population nucleus. Each SMSA contains at least one central city with at least 50,000 inhabitants or more. The SMSA includes the county of such a central city and adjacent counties that are found to be metropolitan in character and economically and socially integrated with the county of the central city. In New England, as noted above, the requirement with regard to a central city as a nucleus still holds, but the units comprising the area are the towns rather than counties. The county (or town in New England) is the basic statistical unit. An SMSA may contain more than one city provided the cities have contiguous boundaries and a combined population of at least 50,000, the smaller of which must have a population of at least 15,000. The largest city is considered the nucleus and usually gives the name to the area. However, the name may also include other cities in the area. Standard metropolitan statistical areas may cross State lines. Area boundaries have been redefined from time to time because of population changes that have taken place since the inception of the concept of SMSA's. Unless otherwise noted, the statistics in these tables are for SMSA's as defined on July 1, 1967. Titles and definitions of SMSA's and of the New England SEA's appear on pages 941-944.
