The metropolitan area delineations published by the Office of Management and Budget in February 2013 no longer include Clay County as a micropolitan statistical area and they no longer treat the two counties as a combined statistical area.[1] When the 2023 core-based statistical areas were defined, the Columbus micropolitan area and the Starkville micropolitan area were combined, and the West Point micropolitan area was no longer defined[2]
