While the exact boundaries of the region are variously defined, the Bay Area is defined by the Association of Bay Area Governments to include 10 counties that border the aforementioned estuaries: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, Sonoma, Santa Cruz, and San Francisco. Other boundaries may exclude parts of or even entire counties, or expand the definition to include neighboring counties that don't border the bay such as San Benito, and San Joaquin.

Santa Clara County, officially the County of Santa Clara, is California's 6th most populous county, with a population of 1,781,642, as of the 2010 census. Santa Clara County and neighboring San Benito County together form the U.S. Census Bureau's San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is a component of the larger San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, CA Combined Statistical Area. Santa Clara is the most populous county in the San Francisco Bay Area and in Northern California.
The San Jose–San Francisco–Oakland, CA Combined Statistical Area is a 14-county Combined Statistical Area (CSA) designated by the United States Office of Management and Budget in Northern California that includes the San Francisco Bay Area. The CSA is more extensive than the popular local definition of the Bay Area, which consists of only the nine counties bordering San Francisco and San Pablo Bays: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma. This group of counties also elects boards for regional planning and air quality control regulation. The CSA includes Merced, San Joaquin, Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Stanislaus counties, which do not directly border the San Francisco or San Pablo bays, but are economically connected to the other nine counties that do. Merced and Stanislaus Counties were added to the CSA in September 2018.
