I think this might be theTop 5
1-tied New York-Philadelphia
1-tied San Francisco-Sacramento
1-tied Chicago-Milwaukee
4 Los Angeles-San Francisco
5 Dallas-Houston

Two large CSAs within 100 miles of each other are going to have ties. I dont think DC-Philadelphia is as strong as the top 3 that I mentioned above though. Anyway, after that two very large CSAs in the same state are going to have very strong ties. LA-Bay Area is very, very strong.

They're two of the most connected major cities in North America and some of the busiest air routes in the world each year.

In my opinion, the Bay Area, LA/IE, and Baltimore/Washington.

Ahh I see. I totally thought Miami and SA had a CSA, guess not.

When I said interconnected CSA's I did not mean which two CSA's are the the most interconnected but rather which 2 adjoining metros such as the LA/OC metro is connected to the Riverside/San Bernardino metro.

There aren't many seams in the low-density sprawl that adjoins Atlanta and Gainesville. But that almost surely won't be a CSA when the lines are recalculated, since Gainesville has been swallowed whole by Atlanta's sprawl in the last decade.

I think Atlanta's MSA land area is just going to be embarrassingly large when its redrawn. There's no telling how far it will go.

The eastern half of the U.S. has way more interconnected CSAs than the western half - the northeast, upper midwest/rustbelt, southern Appalachia, deep south to south central areas. The dark green areas on this map show how numerous these are:

Orlando to tampa maybe?
Chicago and milwaukee suburbs seem to connect so geographically speaking those two
D.C and baltimore are connected and they rely on each other ecnomically
No one will probably mention this but, boston and providence csa's seem to be connected geographically, economically and culturally. Its like providence is a mini boston except you know not in massachusetts

WNY's cities seem to be the same cities in every way.
Denver and Colorado Springs are economically connected i know that much.

Thats all i can think of right now

As far as Most Interconnected CSA's... I think these three are the ONLY three currently

New York-Philadelphia
San Francisco-Sacramento
Chicago-Milwaukee

Boston to NYC are starting to connect and Philadelphia to Wash/Baltimore are starting to connect as well. LA and San Diego are starting to connect as well.

The most prominent is New York City to Philadelphia... there is no separation in development and it's hard to delineate where one Metro/CSA stops and the other begins if it weren't for imaginary arbitrary lines drawn by the Census Bureau

Boston and NYC has to be up there. About a 4 hour ride. Connected by dozens of buses every day. Amtrak runs at least 11 trips in each direction on most days. You have over a dozen daily flights between the two cities. You have a ton of kids from the NYC area that attend college up in Boston. Both are big financial centers, with NYC obviously being the bigger of the two. A big sports rivalry.
