The Shreveport–Bossier City–Minden combined statistical area was made up of four parishes in northwestern Louisiana. The statistical area consisted of then-Shreveport–Bossier City metropolitan statistical area and then-Minden micropolitan statistical area. As of the 2010 census, the CSA had a population of 439,000 (though a July 1, 2011 estimate placed the population at 444,000).[1] On February 28, 2013, OMB changed definitions of census statistical areas, and all four parishes in this combined statistical area were redefined as Shreveport–Bossier City metropolitan statistical area.[2]
