context_page_description: The Pensacola metropolitan area is the metropolitan area centered on Pensacola, Florida. It is also known as the Pensacola-Ferry Pass-Brent Metropolitan Statistical Area, a metropolitan statistical area used for statistical purposes by the United States Census Bureau and other agencies. The Pensacola Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area was first defined after the 1960 United States Census, with Pensacola as the principal city, and included Escambia and Santa Rosa counties. Ferry Pass and Brent, which are unincorporated census-designated places in Escambia County, were added as principal cities after the 2000 Census. The population of the MSA in the 2010 census was 448,991. The estimated population of the MSA was 502,629 in 2019.
  The five incorporated cities within the MSA are Pensacola, Milton, Gulf Breeze, Century, and Jay. In addition, several unincorporated census-designated places account for a great number of the population. Most notable is Navarre; its population makes it the second largest community in the metro area, only behind Pensacola.
