There's no such thing as the Birmingham-Hoover-Cullman Metropolitan Area. There is a Greater Birmingham Metropolitan Area which includes a number of adjacent satellite cities, one of which is Hoover. Cullman, on the other hand, is simply too far north and too unrelated.

• That's true. The census uses the term "Birmingham-Hoover-Cullman, AL Combined Statistical Area" to refer to the areas covered by the "Birmingham-Hoover, AL Metropolitan Statistical Area" and the "Cullman, AL Micropolitan Statistical Area". See the map here. --Dystopos 22:33, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
