In the 2023 statistical area definitions, the San Germán–Cabo Rojo, PR MSA was disbanded and merged with the pre-existing Mayagüez, PR MSA. In turn, this merged MSA was combined with the adjacent Aguadilla, PR MSA to form the Mayagüez–Aguadilla, PR Combined Statistical Area (CSA). The newly defined CSA comprises thirteen municipios on Puerto Rico's western coast.
