Metropolitan Area (as defined June 6, 2003) Table Creation


To create a table, select one or more items in the Race/Ethnicity list, one or more items in the Metropolitan Area/Division list, any number of items in the index list, and press the Get Table button. The Metropolitan Area/Division list contains both metropolitan areas and metropolitan divisions as defined on June 6, 2003. Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSA) refers collectively to metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas. The unit of analysis is the census tract.

Note that indices may be displayed in columns or in rows. (Columns are easier to read and individual columns are sortable, but tables with a large number of selected indices may be too wide to print. Rows are preferable only when you need to print a wide table; individual columns are not sortable.) Note that there is a limit to the size of a generated table; see criteria for a table that is too large to display.

A table is "too large to display" if it meets any of the criteria below.

  2. metropolitan areas
  3. indices
