They did away with this core county philosophy when they redefined their MSA/CSA just last year.
Really? Well I don't understand how San Jac was lost.
Also Huntsville met MSA requirements to Montgomery last time but only met CSA requirements to Harris. Odd that the commuting level would shrink as that area has blossomed in jobs. Would expect Huntsville to be in the MSA instead of the CSA.
I need to try finding commuting data to see what changed in Walker and San Jacinto counties in relation to Montgomery county.
Looked it up. Looks like the number of people working in Walker and living there went up. Guess the traffic from Montgomery made them go for the shorter commute.

This list by the Census Bureau only confirms the new MSA/CSA definitions set for the next decade. As you can see, they have changed the name from Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown to Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land.
Full county and metro numbers should be out soon (probably later today).

^ Above being from April 2010 to July 2011, a 15 month cycle. The total above divided by 15, then multiplied by 12 will show the normal one year (12 month) cycle growth numerically from 2011 as follows:
- Dallas/Fort Worth: 123,820
- Houston: 111,790
- Los Angeles: 92,771

Washington and Miami are the only ones that slowed down in 2012 compared to 2011, sort of expected.

These things might have to be recalculated now that some metros got bigger by as much as 15%Charlotte got a lot of it's cSA counties moved to it's MSA.
Before this is all over, the Bay Area will be much, much bigger and now we might even absorb Sacramento sooner than I even thought.
I made this map for the sake of projections yesterday and I now Im thinking it might be outdated already. ugh.
The State of CA needs to really get on top of upgrading CA 152 and CA 4 from CA 99 to US 101 (for CA 152) and Antioch for CA-4 to accomadate the increased traffic between the Central Valley and the Bay Area
Especially CA 152 which is a major traveling route between SJ and LA.
I wonder if the Stockton and Modesto areas are going to switch from being in the Sacramento media market to the Bay Area media market. Merced is in Fresno's (which IMO makes sense)
Springfield, MA NECTA 727,856 which is about 115,000 more people than its MSA.
Boston NECTA is also larger than its MSA
Providence's is smaller than its MSA.
