The Shreveport–Bossier City–Minden combined statistical area is made up of four parishes in northwestern Louisiana. The statistical area consists of the Shreveport–Bossier City metropolitan statistical area and the 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] In 2013, OMB changed statistical definitions, subsuming Minden into the Shreveport metro (and therefore voiding the separate Combined Area);[2] in 2018 these changes were reversed.
