The Explorer displays segregation for metropolitan areas defined as core based statistical areas (CBSAs) defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 2013. The OMB divides the largest CBSAs (those containing a single Urban Area with a population of at least 2.5 million residents) into metropolitan divisions; we treat each metropolitan division as separate metropolitan area in the data files, rather than including their CBSAs as a single geographic entity. We also estimate segregation for CBSAs and metropolitan divisions using their boundaries as defined in 2003 and 2023; those estimates are available on the Get the Data page (along with other geographies not displayed, like commuting zones).
