REGIONAL DATA
<br />Metro Area
<br />Minneapolis-Saint Paul is the most populous urban area in Minnesota, and is composed of
<br />186 cities and townships. Built around the Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix rivers, the
<br />area is also nicknamed The Twin Cities for its two largest cities, Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
<br />Saint Paul is the second largest city in Minnesota, as well as the state capital.
<br />The area is part of a larger U.S. Census division named Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-
<br />WI, the country's 16th-largest metropolitan area, composed of eleven counties in Minnesota and
<br />two counties in Wisconsin. This larger area, in turn, is enveloped in the U.S. Census combined
<br />statistical area called Minneapolis-St. Paul-St. Cloud, MN-WI with an estimated population of
<br />3.5 million people in 2006, ranked the 13th most populous in the U.S.
<br />In both of the fully developed central cities--Minneapolis and St. Paul--the population has
<br />declined due to smaller household sizes, yet growth in other areas of their counties has been
<br />more than offsetting. Below is detailed where this growth has occurred:
