Combined Statistical Areas (CSA):

In June, 2003 by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) created new metropolitan areas replacing the seventeen Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Areas (CMSA's). They were composed of two or more adjoining metropolitan areas which had demonstrated some economic linkage. The metropolitan areas which were joined into a CMSA were called Primary Metropolitan Statistical Areas (PMSA).

The OMB released its December 2003 updates in February 2004. According to the updates, there is a new group of classifications - 578 micropolitan statistical areas, 29 metropolitan divisions (MetroDivs), and 123 combined statistical areas (CSAs).

2004 Revised OMB Metropolitan-Area Definitions
MSAs Metropolitan statistical areas have at least one urbanized area of 50,000 or more in population, plus adjacent territory that has a high degree of social and economic integration with the core as measured by commuting ties.
Micropolitan Statistical Area Micropolitan statistical areas have at least one urban cluster of at least 10,000 but less than 50,000 in population, plus adjacent territory that has a high degree of social and economic integration with the core as measured by commuting ties.
MetroDivs Metropolitan divisions: If the 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 referred to as metropolitan divisions.
CSAs Combined Statistical Areas: If specified criteria are met, adjacent metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, in various combinations, may become the components of a new set of areas called combined statistical areas. For instance, a combined statistical area may comprise two or more metropolitan statistical areas, a metropolitan statistical area and a micropolitan statistical area, two or more micropolitan statistical areas, or multiple metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas.
