Dallas is charging in with the big dogs in the CSA stats. DFW growth has just been amazing. 7th in CSA and 4th in MSA. I really don't give much weight to CSA stats. It covers a very large region.

Too bad the US Census Bureau is replacing their MSA designations with the CSA:
Federal agencies will be making economic and demographic data available for Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas, Metropolitan Divisions, New England City and Town Areas, and Combined Statistical Areas. Because of sample sizes and associated data quality and confidentiality issues, there may be instances where agencies will produce data only at the level of Combined Statistical Areas

Yea they're quite large...but in many cases they're only marginally larger than some other cities' MSAs. In the case of the Bay Area, they're considerably smaller in land area than some major city MSAs (about 2,000 less than Dallas' MSA).
