Question

A TV station in Denver attracts many viewers in areas outside the city's legal boundaries. The US Census Bureau

measures this expanded functional area through
O metropolitan statistical areas.
O combined statistical areas.
O micropolitan statistical areas.
O urbanized statistical areas.
O hierarchy-based statistical areas.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) Metropolitan Statistical Area

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States Census Bureau the nation's prime center for generating and issuing official statistics as it relates to the US.

Option A comes into the picture because Denver so happens to be a metropolis. A Metropolitan Statistical Area is a city with neighboring communities that are connected by social and economic factors. The population is usually heaviest at its core.

Hence, the TV station, assuming it is located in the heart of Denver will also attract viewers in suburbs such as Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Columbine, Golden, and Arvada, etc.
