Florida Metropolitan Statistical Areas

Florida’s cities offer a great mix of big-city sophistication and small-town appeal. Each of the state’s 20 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) attracts businesses with its distinctive character and advantages. Defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as urbanized areas of at least 50,000 inhabitants and a total metropolitan population of at least 100,000, the MSAs include areas from contiguous counties if they meet certain criteria such as commuting time to the central counties, population density and prevalence of urban population.

The MSA profiles provide a brief overview of each metro area’s main characteristics such as infrastructure, labor force, education, business environment and largest employers.Please click on an MSA name on the map or on the list below for more information on that specific Florida metropolitan statistical area.
