Default Dallas includes Oklahoma??

WTH? Austin/San antonio would be closer together. How about Houston/Beaumont? Hell even Houston/Austin/San Antonio

From Dallas to anywhere populated in oklahoma is like 100 miles. 60 miles of it is through wide open plains.

I would love to see the DFW MSA reduced to Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, Rockwall, Ellis, and Johnson counties.

To me, that is DFW. Hood and Somerville are nice, but they arent really part of the Metroplex, much less Corsicana or Durant, OK.

I guess that will never happen.

That is alot more than I thought. If that's the case, it's just a matter of time before that metro is added into the Austin area. The Killeen area is growing South towards the Williamson County line and Austin is growing in all directions notably along I-35 and 183.

What about them? This is a thread about Texas MSAs/CSAs.

Yeah, that CSA stuff just gets crazy! IMO, CSA is completely useless. MSA is the far more accurate measure of a true metropolitan area. When I look up demographics on a metro area I always look at the MSA. I couldn't care less about all those ridiculous CSA numbers that make no sense and sometimes include every county within a 100 mile radius of a metro.

I don't get how Athens is included with DFW and it is nowhere near DFW??
I also don't get how Brenham is included in Houston and yet again Brenham is nowhere near Houston at all. Yet no Galveston????

It totally depends on how it's calculated. For example from the OP's original table, the DFW area Combined Statistical Area (CSA) includes: Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX Metropolitan Statistical Area: 6,720,217 (subtracted Delta County) plus all those other micropolitan areas related to commuter patterns, etc., from miles away figured in, making it over 7 million. If you look at the Metropolitan Statistcal Area only (MSA), in this case 6,720,217 for the DFW metro area, it mostly includes only the population figures for the actual metro area itself and perhaps other areas very close to it. Demographers, statisticians, and perhaps some others are interested in studying some of those other factors that contribute to a larger, more expanded Combined Statistical Area (CSA). However, the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) numbers are used most often when population figures are being reported to the general public.

Here's the difference in how the two are calculated: MSA vs CSA

MSA: Metropolitan statistical area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CSA: Combined Statistical Area - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yeah people move to Galveston because their job is in Galveston.They Hardly move to Galveston to work in Houston. As for Athens and Brenham,people move to those small towns and choose to work in Dallas and Houston because they are the CLOSEST major job market to them;and the salaries warrant the commute. yes the salaries in houston would warrant a commute from Galveston but if the job is in Houston why not live in Houston? There are far more...and better choices for living in Houston. Galveston is just 45 min away if a beach experience is a must.
