The Kokomo - Peru Combined Statistical Area (CSA) was made up of three counties in Indiana. The statistical area includes one metropolitan area and one micropolitan area. As of the 2000 Census, the CSA had a population of 137,623 (though a July 1, 2009 estimate placed the population at 134,788).[5] A 2013 population estimate placed the combined statistical area at 118,900 however, which again, further leads to the idea that the Kokomo Metropolitan area now only includes Howard County.[6] When the 2023 metropolitan definition were released, the Kokomo - Peru CSA was dissolved and its counties were added to the Indianapolis–Carmel–Muncie combined statistical area.[7]
