# Description of the New York City, New York CMSA, and Combined CMSA Samples

For this report, two geographic areas including and surrounding New York City (NYC and the NY CMSA) were compared with a combined Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (C-CMSA).

*NYC* consists of five boroughs:  Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. A total of 1,367 and 1,688 respondents were in the NYC sample in 2000 and 2001, respectively.

The *NY CMSA* is a Census-defined area including and surrounding NYC.  It includes the five boroughs, the southeast corner of New York State, northern New Jersey, southwest Connecticut, and a small corner of eastern Pennsylvania.  More specifically, the area includes the following:

- 12 counties in New York (Dutchess, Nassau, Suffolk, Bronx, Kings, New York, Putnam, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Westchester, and Orange)
- 14 counties in New Jersey (Bergen, Passaic, Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Somerset, Monmouth, Ocean, Essex, Morris, Sussex, Union, Warren, and Mercer)
- 4 counties in Connecticut (Fairfield, New Haven, parts of Middlesex, and parts of Litchfield)
- 1 county in Pennsylvania (Pike)

The NY CMSA sample sizes in 2000 and 2001 were 3,532 and 4,113, respectively.

The *C-CMSA* sample consists of Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, and surrounding areas. This sample includes the following Census-defined areas:

- Los Angeles:  Los Angeles, Riverside, Orange County, CA CMSA
- Chicago:  Chicago, Gary, Kenosha, IL-IN-WI CMSA
- Detroit:  Detroit, Ann Arbor, Flint, MI CMSA

The C-CMSA sample had 6,938 respondents in 2000 and 6,132 in 2001.

***Table B.1*** provides details on the 2000 and 2001 sample sizes.

Census totals for the geographic areas analyzed in this report (NYC, NY CMSA, and the C-CMSA) were developed by accessing 1999 county-level estimates in the areas involved for age and sex, with the1990 U.S. Census used as a base count (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1992). Data sets containing CMSA level data of interest from the Census and the NHSDA were merged together by State and county codes. The estimates from this merged data set were then summed and checked using Census metropolitan data (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2000). State-level adjustments were determined by applying adjustments used routinely in analyses of NHSDA data to the merged data set.  This adjustment was then applied to resulting estimates to determine the civilian population estimates. These adjusted estimates were then summed by CMSA, age group, and sex to determine the census control totals shown in ***Table B.2*** and ***Table B.3*** provides Census totals.
