They aren't. Orlando's metro or MSA is only Orange, Seminole and Lake counties.

You may be thinking of the Combined Statistical Area (CSA) which is another designation that the federal government uses to signify an economic relationship between metro areas. Orlando's CSA consists of the Orlando metro, the Daytona metro, the Palm Coast metro and The Villages micropolitan area.

i was reading these last two posts and realized how similar they are to many of the complaints and gripes about the memphis msa and no csa designation. although greater memphis is said to have slightly over 2.4 million residents w/in 1 hour of the city proper cbd, it has no csa. supposedly, it does have an urbanized area, which is officially going to be the census bureau's way of ridding the usage of the haphazard way in which the csa designations have been applied from place to place. noticing one of the post, it indicated that the msa took in several areas that were designated msa's and even a micropolitian area. memphis has at least three micropolitan areas designated w/in one hour of the city proper, along w/ three micro designations, yet, they were not included in the msa or a csa. several have written the bureau for explanations and definitions, and they consistently said that the current system was being revived, and that there were approximately 4 additional metro areas that received the same designation in the 2000 census.

frankly, i don't know, w/ the elapse of time between figures, that we can ever really rely on solid numbers for the various metro areas. i have begun to notice that several of the published numbers showing a much greater rate of growth in the memphis metro that has just now begun to sync w/ numbers shown to the bureau in 2009. the tracking numbers submitted to the bureau in mid 2009 already showed the supposed 44,000 resident anomaly, and as it turned out, the number ended up being less than 4,000. the hispanic community could account for almost a hundred thousand in their community that was left off of the official count, asians were off by approximately 12%, and blacks, who have one of the worst records in the nation for preparing their census forms sent in approximately only 61% of their forms. now the memphis proper annex reserve is going to have to be added in the amount of approximately 18,000 to cover the new shelby county consolidated school district. naturally, this sprawls memphis 37 miles to the county line and the suburbs in the next county.

in 2009, memphis proper was gaining inner city residents, as they were being placed in new housing in the inner city, along w/ hispanics and international immigrants. the county had already reached a number somewhere around 934,000+ to as many as 961,000. memphis proper was approximately 704-716,000.

not that i enjoy someone else's misery or upset, but it is sort of comforting to see that examples are not just few and far between, but actually in one's back door. the southern metro, which covers 4 ms counties, are in a big mess w/ their growth and funding issues, ms politics, and political representation and federal funding. desoto county is the 32 fastest growing county in the nation, and a good deal of power has gone to those memphis metro counties, the casino district, and desoto county is now the largest public school system, knocking jackson, ms into 2nd place. all of this hasn't made haley barbour very happy. if i were ya'll, i would question as much as possible about the piss poor collection of data and how it is applied. it seemed nothing mattered this time except that hispanics becounted, regardless of any of the other demographics.

I've always found it interesting that Titusville is in the Melbourne-Palm Bay MSA and not the Orlando CSA. Most of my family in Titusville at one point works or have worked in East Orlando metro, about 30 miles one way. I even used to commute from Titusville to South OBT to work at SunTrusts building on Chancellor dr.
