(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In the United States, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has produced a formal definition of metropolitan areas, which are organized around county boundaries (except in New England, where cities and towns are more significant than counties as geographical and political units.) These are referred to as "Metropolitan Statistical Areas" (MSAs). If an MSA is large enough and can be subdivided into meaningful sub-metropolitan areas, then the MSA is considered a "Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area" (CMSA), with each subdivision called a "Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area" (PMSA). The largest MSAs in the United States are all CMSAs.In 2003, further adjustments were made to the definition of metro areas, information about it is available on the core based statistical area entry.
The following is a list of the top metropolitan areas in the United States, according to the 2000 census:
Metropolitan Area States Type Population Other names New York--Northern New Jersey--Long Island NY--NJ--CT--PA CMSA 21,199,865 Tri-state Area, New York area, Greater New York Los Angeles--Riverside County--Orange County CA CMSA 16,373,645 The The Southland, Southern California (The latter also refers to the entire southern portion of the state) Chicago--Joliet--Naperville--Gary--Kenosha IL--IN--WI CMSA 9,157,540 Chicagoland Washington--Baltimore DC--MD--VA--WV CMSA 7,608,070 Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area San Jose--San Francisco--Oakland CA CMSA 7,039,362 The Bay Area Philadelphia--Wilmington--Atlantic City PA--NJ--DE--MD CMSA 6,188,463 The Delaware Valley Boston--Worcester--Lawrence MA--NH--ME--CT CMSA 5,819,100 Greater Boston Detroit--Ann Arbor--Flint MI CMSA 5,456,428 Metro Detroit Dallas--Fort Worth--Arlington TX CMSA 5,221,801 The Metroplex Houston--Galveston--Brazoria--Baytown--Sugar Land TX CMSA 4,669,571 Houston Metropolitan Area Atlanta GA MSA 4,112,198 Atlanta Metropolitan Area Miami--Ft.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | HEART, n. An automatic, muscular blood-pump. Figuratively, this useful organ is said to be the esat of emotions and sentiments -- a very pretty fancy which, however, is nothing but a survival of a once universal belief. It is now known that the sentiments and emotions reside in the stomach, being evolved from food by chemical action of the gastric fluid. The exact process by which a beefsteak becomes a feeling -- tender or not, according to the age of the animal from which it was cut; the successive stages of elaboration through which a caviar sandwich is transmuted to a quaint fancy and reappears as a pungent epigram; the marvelous functional methods of converting a hard-boiled egg into religious contrition, or a cream-puff into a sigh of sensibility -- these things have been patiently ascertained by M. Pasteur, and by him expounded with convincing lucidity. (See, also, my monograph, The Essential Identity of the Spiritual Affections and Certain Intestinal Gases Freed in Digestion -- 4to, 687 pp.) In a scientific work entitled, I believe, Delectatio Demonorum (John Camden Hotton, London, 1873) this view of the sentiments receives a striking illustration; and for further light consult Professor Dam's famous treatise on Love as a Product of Alimentary Maceration. |
