* Data for MSAs are listed excluding the central city. Where two or more cities are shown together, they belong to the same Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). In these cases, the city data were combined to create a single urban entity.
* Tabulations are based on numbers with more decimal places than shown.
* Due to naming conventions and other reasons, MSA names may have changed over time.
* Due to Land Annexation and other reasons, MSA size may have changed over time.
