The Corbin, Kentucky Micropolitan Area (formerly London, Kentucky) Micropolitan Area (μSA) is made up of four counties in the Eastern Coalfield region of Kentucky. Before 2013, the area was officially known as the Corbin–London, KY Combined Statistical Area, and consisted of the Corbin Micropolitan Statistical Area and the London Micropolitan Statistical Area. The Corbin micropolitan area consisted of Whitley County, and the London micropolitan area consisted of Laurel County.

In 2013, the United States Census Bureau folded the CSA into the redefined London micropolitan area, and Knox County was added to the statistical area. This incidentally ended a statistical anomaly that excluded the 20% of the population of Corbin living in Knox County from the statistical area.

As of 2019, the London micropolitan area had a population of 128,215.

The total population of the London, KY μSA changed from 126,565 in 2010 to 128,215 in 2018, a change of 1,650 (1.3%). Among all metros nationwide, London, KY μSA ranked 386th in 2018, based on total population. It ranked 319th based population change from 2010 to 2018 and ranked 456th based population percent change from 2010 to 2018.

With the release of the 2023 Statistical Area definitions, the London micropolitan area was renamed Corbin micropolitan area and Clay County was added to the μSA.[1]
