Data Description:

The Randally Metro Areas represent Rand Mc Nally definitions of the metropolitan area around each important city. Unlike the Metropolitan Statistical Area's (MSA) they are defined on a township and locality basis, rather than in terms of entire counties.

They are designated to provide the most accurate portrayal possible of the size and growth of the nation's chief urban centers. (Source: the Rand Mc Nally Atlas)
