They might be micropolitan areas. Really, that's an official term used by the Census Bureau. I'm not 100% sure what distinguishes metro- from micro-, but I think it's the main city having less than 50K people. Or maybe it's 100K. -- Dan Tilque |

Right: see http://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/metro-micro/about.html There is one metropolitan (not micropolitan) area entirely in North Dakota and two more that extend from North Dakota into Minnesota. There are two entirely in South Dakota and one extending from Iowa into South Dakota. See Table 50, on pages 333 to 338, of: http://www2.census.gov/library/publications/decennial/2010/cph-2/cph-2-1.pdf -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "But going repeatedly back and forth in time is msb@vex.net | cheating.
