List of North American metropolitan areas by population

Last updated

This is a list of the fifty most populous metropolitan areas in North America. Where available, it uses official definitions of metropolitan areas based on the concept of a single urban core and its immediate surroundings, as opposed to polycentric conurbations. These definitions vary from country to country. For example, for U.S. cities, the list uses Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by the United States Census Bureau, and for Canadian cities the list uses Census Metropolitan Areas as defined by Statistics Canada. Havana has no official definition of its metropolitan area; the population within its city limits is given instead.

Metropolitan areas of Mexico have been traditionally defined as the group of municipalities that heavily interact with each other, usually around a core city, in Mexico. The phenomenon of metropolization in Mexico is relatively recent, starting in the 1940s.
