Obszary metropolitalne w Stanach Zjednoczonych

Amerykańskie Biuro Zarządzania i Budżetu (ang. Office of Management and Budget, OMB) sporządziło formalną definicję obszarów metropolitalnych, które są wyznaczone według granic hrabstw (z wyjątkiem regionu Nowej Anglii, gdzie miasta i miasteczka są ważniejszymi jednostkami niż hrabstwa). Te nazywane są "Metropolitan Statistical Areas" (MSA). Jeżeli dane MSA jest dostatecznie duże, tak, że można podzielić je na mniejsze obszary metropolitalne, wtedy to MSA jest nazywane "Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area" (CMSA), a mniejsze obszary "Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area" (PMSA).

Lista 366 największych według ludności obszarów metropolitalnych w USA, według spisu ludności z 2000 roku i definicji obszarów z roku 2003.
