A micropolitan statistical area is defined as an area that has at least one urban cluster with a population of at least 10,000 but less than 50,000, and adjacent territory that has a high degree of social and economic integration with the urban cluster. This definition distinguishes it from a metropolitan statistical area, which has at least one urbanized area with a population of 50,000 or more, and adjacent territory with a high degree of social and economic integration. Consolidated metropolitan statistical areas are defined as two or more adjacent metropolitan statistical areas that have an urban core population of at least 2.5 million, while secondary marketing statistical areas and combined marketing statistical areas are not official statistical area definitions recognized by the United States Census Bureau.
