How does a consolidated city–county government differ from a metropolitan statistical area?

It must contain every city in a metropolitan region
It has no responsibility for providing local services
It is a legal local government rather than a statistical area
It is defined only by commuting patterns rather than law

Combining city and county government does not make the combined jurisdiction a metropolitan statistical area.

Consolidation combines local government functions, while a metropolitan area is a statistical region linked through commuting. The boundaries can overlap without the two units having the same legal purpose or authority.
