In order to be considered a metropolitan statistical area, an area needs to have a population of at least how many people?
50,000
10,000
25,000
80,000
100,000
A metropolitan statistical area has a population of at least 50,000. If the population of an area is between 10,000 and 50,000, then the area is technically a micropolitan statistical area instead of a metropolitan statistical area.
