Summary:

From 2000 to 2003, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas experienced different rates of population change, with the effects on the size of their populations ranging from rapid growth to population decline. Of the 290.8 million people in the United States in 2003, more than 93 percent lived either in metro or micro areas. Between 2000 and 2003, growth in both metro and micro areas was fastest in the West, followed by the South. The rate of population growth outside CBSAs also was fastest in the West, followed by the Northeast. Some of the fastest-growing metro and micro areas were located in several bands in parts of the West and the South, including parts of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Georgia, and Florida. In 2003, more than one-half of the U.S. population lived in the 50 metro areas with populations of 1,000,000 or more, with almost one-quarter of the U.S. population residing in metro areas with populations of 5,000,000 or more. In many of the most populous metro areas--led by the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-PA metro area--natural increase and net international migration contributed to population growth. Net migration--led in many cases by net domestic migration--usually made a larger contribution than natural increase to the growth of many of the largest micro areas, along with many of the fastest-growing metro areas and micro areas.
