In the United States, a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) is a geographical region based on a county or a group of counties with at least one urbanized area with a population of at least 50,000 and adjacent counties with economic ties to the central area.

Racial Segregation, Transportation, and Unemployment Rates in the United States.. This study explores the complex relationships among metropolitan- and neighborhood-level racial segregation, transportation, and tract-level employment outcomes using data from over 28,000 census tracts in 95 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the United States.
