The Binghamton Metropolitan Statistical Area, also called Greater Binghamton or the Triple Cities, is a region of southern upstate New York in the Northeastern United States, anchored by the city of Binghamton. The MSA encompasses Broome and Tioga counties,〔(METROPOLITAN STATISTICAL AREAS AND COMPONENTS ), Office of Management and Budget, 2007-05-11. Accessed 2008-07-27.〕 which together had a population of 251,725 as of the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=United States Census Bureau )〕 The MSA as set by the OMB fails to include the populations of Delaware County, NY; Chenango County, NY; and Susquehanna County, PA that also encompass the actual region. Large portions of the populations in Cortland County, NY; Otsego County, NY; and Wayne County, PA also work and/or conduct the majority of their shopping and business in the Binghamton MSA. Using the definition of a 30-mile radius from Binghamton, the population as of the 2010 census is 317,331. The Greater Binghamton name was adopted in the early 21st century to better identify the region with its most well-known city in efforts of marketing and external promotion. The metropolitan area is located in the Southern Tier of New York State and lies on Pennsylvania's northern border, approximately 66 miles (110 km) south of Syracuse, New York. ==Triple Cities== Historically, the region has been known as the Triple Cities and is made up of Binghamton, Johnson City, and Endicott, New York, the latter two of which are technically villages. The area is also sometimes called the "Greater Binghamton Area" as the city of Binghamton is the largest and most prominent of the three, with a population greater than the other two combined, and a much larger geographical area. The three incorporated areas are tightly squeezed together and can seem like a single large, albeit spread out, city. They are economically integrated, though they retain their political identities. For example, many people living in Binghamton go shopping at the Oakdale Mall in Johnson City on a regular basis, and it's very common for someone living in one city to work or go to school in one of the other two. Some have put forward the idea of merging the three into a single city, but it seems politically unlikely. While "triple cities" strictly covers only the three main municipalities mentioned, the term is also used by some to refer broadly to the surrounding area of conurbation, including Endwell, West Corners, the Upper Front Street area (which is technically in the Town of Dickinson) and perhaps most notably, the Town of Vestal. Vestal is home to the Vestal Parkway, a major commercial strip for the entire area, housing one of the two major multiplex theaters in the area, and a number of shopping plazas, major chain stores, and eateries. Binghamton University is also physically located in Vestal, though its mailing address is in Binghamton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Binghamton, New York metropolitan area」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
