The Greater Sacramento area refers to a metropolitan region in Northern California comprising either the U.S. Census Bureau defined Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom metropolitan statistical area or the larger Sacramento–Roseville combined statistical area, the latter of which consists of seven counties, namely Sacramento, Yolo, Placer, Sutter, Yuba, counties.
Straddling the Central Valley and Sierra Nevada regions of California, Greater Sacramento is anchored by the state capital of Sacramento, the political center of California. Greater Sacramento also contains sites of natural beauty. It is also located in one of the world's most important agricultural areas.
Since the late 20th century, it has been one of the fastest growing urban regions in the United States as Sacramento continues to emerge as a distinct metropolitan area.[3] In the 1990s, the metro area experienced a growth of just over 20%, with subsequent growth remaining above 10% per decade.[4] In the 2020 Census, the metropolitan region had a population of 2,680,831.[5]
