What are CBSAs?

The U.S. Census Bureau divides the nation into Census-Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs), which are groups of one or more counties that are linked by “a high degree of social and economic integration.” (Read more here.) According to the Census, a metropolitan CBSA has a core urban area (a.k.a. a city) of over 50,000 people. A micropolitan CBSA has a core urban area of under 50,000 but over 10,000 people. 

Why are Idaho and Oregon cities included here?

Lewiston (ID) and Portland/Hillsboro (OR) are included here because they both represent CBSAs that include at least one county in Washington State. The reports for these CBSAs only include data from Washington patients and providers; however, the names of the CBSAs include non-Washington cities.

Why are the same reports not available for every CBSA?

In a given year, each CBSA or state might provide information to the TEDS-A, TEDS-D, or neither. If data is unavailable, or if sample size is too small for meaningful analysis (e.g., one or two opioid-related admissions in a year), reports are not created.
