The Dayton Metropolitan Statistical Area formerly includedClark County andPreble County. In 2005, Clark County containingSpringfield, Ohio separated from the Dayton MSA to create their own MSA namedSpringfield Metropolitan Statistical Area. As a result of new Census criteria to delineate metropolitan areas, Preble County was eliminated from the MSA in 2013 as it no longer qualified for inclusion. A significant drop in population for the Dayton MSA is noted in the 2010 census because of these changes.[10]
