The Tijuana metropolitan area (Spanish: Zona Metropolitana de Tijuana) is located by the Pacific Ocean in Mexico. The 2010 census placed the Tijuana metropolitan area as the fifth largest city by population in the country with 1,751,302 people. The metropolitan area is defined by the census bureau as comprising three municipalities: Tijuana, Tecate, and Rosarito Beach. However, Tecate Municipality is commonly included. As the urban area between Tijuana and Tecate grows, the commuting populace increases – ultimately further developing the southern areas of San Diego–Tijuana – and the three municipalities maintain strong relationships and cooperation.
