In California, there are five Metropolitan Divisions that combine into two MSA, one in Southern California and the other in the Bay Area.
Metropolitan Divisions (MD) - If specified criteria are met, a Metropolitan Statistical Area containing a single core with a population of 2.5 million or more may be subdivided to form smaller groupings of counties.Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) have at least one urbanized area of 50,000 or more population, plus adjacent territory that has a high degree of social and economic integration with the core as measured by commuting ties.OMB's 2010 standards provide for the identification of the following types of statistical areas in California: The 2010 standards replace and supersede the 2000 standards for defining Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas. These new Metropolitan Areas become the standard geographic areas for which economic data are produced by cooperative programs of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. OMB establishes and maintains the delineations of Metropolitan Statistical Areas, Metropolitan Divisions, and Micropolitan Statistical Areas solely for statistical purposes. On February 28, 2013, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announced an update to statistical area delineations based on the application of the new standards to data from the 2010 Census.
