The U.S. currently has 80 statistical areas that have been delineated by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). On July 21, 2023, the OMB delineated 13 combined statistical areas, 26 metropolitan statistical areas, and 41 micropolitan statistical areas in Texas. As of 2023, the largest of these is the Dallas–Fort Worth, TX-OK CSA, encompassing the area around the twin cities of Dallas and Fort Worth in the northern part of the state.
Owing to its large area and population - the second-highest amongst the 50 states in both respects - Texas contains the most statistical areas of any state.
