CSA stands for Combined Statistical Area. It's used for population/census purposes. It has nothing to do with farming unfortunately.

I disagree with placing Cullman, Tuscaloosa, or Talladega in bham's CSA. None of them are "suburbs". When you live in bham, you don't consider any of them to be part of your metro area.

It's based on the percentage of people who commute to live in the city.

CSA is determined by commute and also is an economic measurement of inter-dependance. It does not determine that a community is a suburb. Even the MSA does not make such a determination. Don't worry up there 'we' know whether we are in a suburb or not, 'jdawson'. I think anyone here would be interested in what discomfort it is going to cause you since Cullman and Talledega were pulled. (auto jobs drove this along with general economic weaving) And yes, Mercedes is moving Tuscaloosa in, so please share with us why this is not with you approval since you chose to share that with us.

Personally I will add that I go to dinner about twice a month out near the Coosa River and I assure you that the bumper to bumper traffic going and coming feels a lot like I am in a suburb.

You don't like it because it shows that the Birmingham area is growing with the core city in the middle as the muscle and the engine driving it. I'm glad it doesn't sit right with you.
