Metropolitan Area Census Data: Occupied Housing

Occupied Housing statistics for 356 U.S. metropolitan areas are shown in this easy-to-read table and chart combination.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau 2000 Census.

The metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) are listed alphabetically, with some exceptions. Use this alphabetical index to jump down to the area you are interested in: B C D EFG HIJK L MNO PR S TUVWY Puerto Rico

Some large MSAs are arranged into two or more Primary MSAs (PMSAs) within a Consolidated MSA (CMSA). In this case the PMSAs are not in alphabetical order, but are grouped under the CMSA. To find a PMSA, check the larger CMSA that it is a part of. For example, the Akron, OH PMSA can be found under the Cleveland/Akron, OH CMSA, along with other MSAs beginning with 'C'. Or, use your browser's Find function (Edit -> Find, or Control-F) to search for these areas. See below for more information about MSAs, CMSAs, and PMSAs.
