Note: Since a state constitutional change in 1871, places in Virginia incorporated as a "city" are independent cities and are not located in any county. The OMB considers these independent cities to be county-equivalents for the purpose of defining MSAs in Virginia.
Four counties and two independent cities are included in the Lynchburg Metropolitan Statistical Area.[2]
