Sometimes there is more than one "major, anchoring city" so if that is the case, both cities will be accepted. If both cities aren't accepted, you did not name the anchoring city. Also note; not all major U.S. metro areas are in CSAs. Only the metro areas that have overlaps with others.

Where is Phoenix?

Phoenix is not in a Combined Statistical Area. While it is a metropolitan area made up of several small cities, like Honolulu and Anchorage, Phoenix is not actually in a corridor of major cities. It stands alone like an island as the Phoenix metro are doesn't reach the Tucson, LA, or Santa Fe- Albuquerque metro areas.

San Antonio and Richmond and Tampa also are not designated as such.

Need to add clarification at top of quiz so we dont waste time guessing massive cities like Phoenix, San Diego, Tampa Bay/St Petersburg that are bigger than some of these CSAs

I tried to add a little clarification to what a CSA is and that not all metros are included. I hope this helps
