The San Francisco Bay Area, referred to locally as The Bay Area, is the conurbation that surrounds the San Francisco Bay in northern California. Home to more than 7 million people, the metropolitan area is composed of cities, towns, villages, military bases, airports, and regional, state, and national parks sprawled over nine counties and connected by a massive network of roads, highways, rail, and commuter rail under the umbrella of the Bay Area Rapid Transit. Because San Francisco was the largest city in the region (it was surpassed by San Jose in the 1990 census) and remains the traditional and cultural center, the region is often identified by outsiders with the city of San Francisco proper. However, San Francisco has only 11% of the Bay Area's population. The Bay Area also differs from most other metropolitan areas in that, instead of having a single urban center surrounded by dependent suburbs, its population is distributed across several regional urban and surburban centers. Ultimately, the city of San Francisco with Oakland and San Jose comprises the fourth largest metropolitan area in the U.S., after New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Obviously this area and its multitude of settlements of various shapes and sizes offer nursing students a great many school options, fields, and ultimately, more jobs over a large search area.
