It's official: There are 6,783,760 residents in the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, with 894,943 of them calling San Jose home, making the South Bay city the region's largest. For more details about how and where Bay Areans live and commute, stay tuned to the Bay Area Census Web site launched by MTC and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) in April.

The site aggregates all the Census 2000 demographic data released since March 2001 for easy use by those specifically interested in the Bay Area. In addition, the site offers historical data as far back as 1860, and links to other census sites. Figures on commute patterns are expected to become available by the fall of 2002.
