Metro Area

Because many people have mailing addresses which are not located in the city proper but are instead in a suburb or outlying town, we've found it best to list the name of the nearest large city for searching purposes.

Example: A resource whose mailing address is "Dripping Springs, TX" would typically list Austin as their Metro area.

This field also allows Resource listees or Human Resource Listing users to specify a larger region, such as "SF Bay Area" or "Northern NJ", which otherwise wouldn't be searchable.

Note: "Advanced Search" allows for searches by full or partial zip/postal code, Description of Services, and Certifications.
