*Metropolitan Statistical Areas
**Data for the Honolulu MSA. The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not provide data for the central city of Honolulu.
***Because Los Angeles and Long Beach are in the same MSA, Kansas City, KS and Kansas City, MO are in the same MSA, and Minneapolis and St. Paul are in the same MSA, these pairs of cities share the same suburb data.
****No suburb data are available for Anchorage because the central city and the metropolitan area are coterminous.
