Map of the 2012OMB-designated Washington-Baltimore-Arlington, DC-MD-VA-WV-PA Combined Statistical Area.

TheWashington–Baltimore combined metropolitan statistical area is astatistical area, including the overlapping metropolitan areas ofWashington, D.C. andBaltimore. The region includes CentralMaryland,Northern Virginia, three counties in theEastern Panhandle of West Virginia, andone county in south-centralPennsylvania. It is the most educated, highest-income, andthird-most populous combined statistical area in the United States behindNew York City–Newark, NJ andLos Angeles–Long Beach.[2][3]

The area is designated by theOffice of Management and Budget (OMB) as theWashington–Baltimore–Arlington, DC–MD–VA–WV–PA Combined Statistical Area. It is composed primarily of two majormetropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), theWashington–Arlington–Alexandria, DC–VA–MD–WV MSA and theBaltimore–Columbia–Towson, Maryland Metropolitan Statistical Area. Five smaller urban areas not contiguous to the main urban area but having strong commuting ties with the main area are included in the metropolitan area:[4]Hagerstown–Martinsburg, Maryland–West Virginia MSA, theChambersburg–Waynesboro, Pennsylvania MSA, theWinchester, VA–WV MSA, theCalifornia–Lexington Park, Maryland MSA, and theEaston, Marylandmicropolitan statistical area (μSA).

Some counties, such asCaroline andKing George County, Virginia, are not officially designated by OMB as members of this metropolitan area but still consider themselves members anyway.[5][6][7][8][9] This is mostly due to their proximity to the area, the size of their commuter population, and by the influence of local broadcasting stations. The population of the entire Washington–Baltimore Combined Statistical Area as of the2020 census was 9,973,383. The area's most-populous city is Washington, D.C. with a population of 689,545, and the area's most populous county isFairfax County, Virginia, with a population of 1,150,309.[10]
