San Francisco Bay Area is a Region in California at latitude 37°36′00.00″ North, longitude 122°09′00.00″ West.
The San Francisco Bay Area is a geographically large mix of urban, suburban and rural areas usually comprised of nine California counties: Alameda County, California, Contra Costa, Marin County, California, Napa County, California, San Francisco, California, San Mateo County, Santa Clara County, Solano and Sonoma.

This larger CSA contains 7.46 million people — the sixth-largest CSA in the US.
