The Binghamton Metropolitan Statistical Area, also called Greater Binghamton, is a region of southern upstate New York in the Northeastern United States, anchored by the city of Binghamton. The MSA encompasses Broome and Tioga counties,[1] which together had a population of 252,320 at the 2000 census.[2] A July 1, 2008 estimate placed the population at 245,189.[3]
The area was recently affected by the recent Binghamton shootings.
The Greater Binghamton name was adopted in the early 21st century to better identify the region with its most well-known city in efforts of marketing and external promotion.
Historically, the region has been known as the Triple Cities and is made up of (Binghamton and Johnson City and Endicott, New York, which are actually villages. The metropolitan area is located in the Southern Tier of New York State and lies on the Pennsylvania's northern border, approximately 66 miles (110 km) south of Syracuse, New York.
