Objectives

This report details development of the

2013 National Center for Health Statistics’

(NCHS) Urban–Rural Classification

Scheme for Counties (update of the 2006

NCHS scheme) and applies it to health

measures to demonstrate urban-rural

health differences.

Methods

The methodology used to construct the

2013 NCHS scheme was the same as

that used for the 2006 NCHS scheme, but

2010 census-based data were used rather

than 2000 census-based data. All U.S.

counties and county-equivalent entities are

assigned to one of six levels (four

metropolitan and two nonmetropolitan)

based on: 1) their February 2013 Office of

Management and Budget designation as

metropolitan, micropolitan, or noncore; 2)

for metropolitan counties, the population

size of the metropolitan statistical area

(MSA) to which they belong; and 3) for

counties in MSAs of 1 million or more, the

location of principal city populations within

the MSA. The 2013 and 2006 NCHS

schemes were applied to data from the

National Vital Statistics System (NVSS)

and National Health Interview Survey

(NHIS) to illustrate differences in selected

health measures by urbanization level and

to assess the magnitude of differences

between estimates from the two schemes.

Results and Conclusions

County urban-rural assignments under

the 2013 NCHS scheme are very similar

to those under the 2006 NCHS scheme.

Application of the updated scheme to

NVSS and NHIS data demonstrated the

continued usefulness of the six categories

for assessing and monitoring health

differences among communities across

the full urbanization spectrum. Residents

of large central and large fringe metro

counties differed substantially on many

health measures, illustrating the

importance of continuing to separate these

counties. Residents of large fringe metro

counties generally fared better than

residents of less urban counties.

Estimates obtained from the 2013 and

2006 schemes were similar.

2013 NCHS Urban–Rural

Classification Scheme for

Counties

by Deborah D. Ingram, Ph.D., and Sheila J. Franco, Office of

Analysis and Epidemiology

Introduction

Urban–rural differences in health

measures have long been recognized.

The National Center for Health

Statistics’ (NCHS) Urban–Rural

Classification Scheme for Counties was

developed for use in studying

associations between urbanization level

of residence and health and for

monitoring the health of urban and rural

residents. The scheme groups U.S.

counties and county-equivalent entities

into six urbanization levels (four

metropolitan and two nonmetropolitan),

on a continuum ranging from most

urban to most rural. (Note: In this

report, the term counties will be used to

refer to counties and county-equivalent

entities.)

The first NCHS urban–rural

scheme, developed in 2001 and referred

to as the 1990 census-based NCHS

urban–rural scheme, was a six-level

classification scheme for counties. This

scheme was based on the 1990 Office of

Management and Budget (OMB)

standards for defining metropolitan

statistical areas (MSAs) and on data

from the 1990 census. It was updated in

2006 (referred to as the 2006 NCHS

Urban–Rural Classification Scheme for

Counties), following release of MSAs

and micropolitan statistical area

delineations based on application of the

2000 OMB standards for defining MSAs

and micropolitan statistical areas to

2000 census data. A detailed description

of the construction of these two schemes

is provided in an earlier report (1).

Release of 2010 census-based

population data, and of MSA and

micropolitan statistical area delineations

based on the application of the 2010

OMB standards for defining these areas

to 2010 census data, prompted this

update of the 2006 NCHS scheme. The

updated scheme will be referred to as

the 2013 NCHS Urban–Rural

Classification Scheme for Counties.

The NCHS urban–rural schemes are

county-based because counties generally

are the primary political units of local

government and have programmatic

importance at the federal and state

levels, and their boundaries are

relatively stable. Further, county-level

measures of health and of demographic,

economic, and environmental

characteristics are widely available, in

contrast to the paucity of data available

at the subcounty level.

A distinguishing feature of the

NCHS urban–rural schemes is that they

separate counties in the largest

metropolitan areas (MSAs with

populations of 1 million or more) into

two groups, referred to as large central

metro and large fringe metro. The large

central metro group includes counties

that contain all or part of the area’s

principal city (akin to inner cities); the

large fringe metro group includes the

surrounding counties of the MSA.

NCHS has found that there are

significant health differences between

residents of these two types of counties

and that urban–rural health differences

often are largest between residents of

large fringe metro counties and residents

of the most rural counties. Therefore,

Page 1
Page 2 [ Series 2, No. 166

accurate assessment of urban–rural

health differences requires a

classification scheme that differentiates

between large central metro and large

fringe metro counties.

This report describes the

construction of the 2013 NCHS

Urban–Rural Classification Scheme for

Counties and compares it with the 2006

NCHS scheme. The 2013 NCHS scheme

was constructed using the same

methodology used for the 2006 scheme,

but it is based on 2010 census data

rather than 2000 census data (1). To

illustrate differences in selected health

measures by urbanization level and to

compare estimates from the two

schemes, selected health measures are

analyzed according to both the 2013 and

2006 schemes.

2013 NCHS

Urban–Rural

Classification Scheme

for Counties

The 2013 NCHS Urban–Rural

Classification Scheme for Counties, like

the 2006 NCHS urban–rural scheme, is

a county-level scheme with six levels:

four metropolitan (large central metro,

large fringe metro, medium metro, and

small metro) and two nonmetropolitan

(micropolitan and noncore) (Table 1 and

Figure 1). A detailed description of the

construction of the 2006 NCHS scheme

is provided in an earlier report (1). All

counties in the United States were

assigned to one of the six levels based

on: 1) their status under the OMB

delineation of MSAs and micropolitan

statistical areas, 2) the population size of

MSAs, and 3) the location of principal

city populations within the largest

MSAs (1 million or more population).

2010 OMB Metropolitan–

Nonmetropolitan

Classification of Counties

MSAs and micropolitan statistical

areas, delineated in accordance with the

2010 OMB standards for defining

metropolitan and micropolitan statistical

areas, formed the basis for the 2013

NCHS scheme. The 2010 OMB

standards are nearly identical to the

2000 standards (2). They include criteria

for differentiating metropolitan and

nonmetropolitan counties and for

organizing metropolitan counties into

MSAs and some of the nonmetropolitan

counties into micropolitan statistical

areas. The term core-based statistical

area (CBSA) refers collectively to

MSAs and micropolitan statistical areas.

Nonmetropolitan counties not designated

as micropolitan are referred to as

counties outside of CBSAs or noncore

counties.

According to the 2010 OMB

standards, the basic concept of an MSA

remained that of an area containing a

large population nucleus together with

adjacent communities having a high

degree of economic and social

integration with that core. One or more

census-defined urbanized areas form the

core of an MSA and the county (or

counties) that contain them are referred

to as central counties of the MSA. (An

urbanized area has a population of at

least 50,000 and consists of an urban

nucleus with a population density of

1,000 persons per square mile together

with adjoining territory with at least 500

persons per square mile) (3). In addition

to the central counties, an MSA may

contain outlying counties that are

economically and socially tied to the

central counties as measured by the

percentage commuting to or from the

central counties for work. Generally, all

or most of the counties in MSAs qualify

as central counties.

The concept of a micropolitan

statistical area closely parallels that of

the MSA, but a micropolitan statistical

area comprises nonmetropolitan counties

and has a smaller nucleus. One or more

urban clusters form the core of a

micropolitan statistical area, and the

county (or counties) that contain them

are referred to as central counties (an

urban cluster is a small version of an

urbanized area with 2,500–49,999

inhabitants) (3). In addition to the

central counties, a micropolitan

statistical area may contain outlying

counties that meet specified

requirements of commuting to or from

the central counties.

Nonmetropolitan counties not

defined as micropolitan are considered

to be noncore and may be thought of as

the most rural areas.

The largest incorporated city in an

MSA or micropolitan statistical area is

designated as a principal city. Additional

cities qualify as principal cities if

specified population size and commuting

criteria are met.

County Urbanization

Levels Defined

From the most urban to the most

rural, the six levels of the 2013 NCHS

scheme are defined according to the

following classification rules (Table 1

and Figure 1):

Metropolitan categories

Large central metro—Counties in

MSAs of 1 million or more population

that:

1.	 Contain the entire population of the

largest principal city of the MSA, or

2.	 Have their entire population

contained in the largest principal city

of the MSA, or

3.	 Contain at least 250,000 inhabitants

of any principal city of the MSA.

Large fringe metro—Counties in

MSAs of 1 million or more population

that did not qualify as large central

metro counties.

Medium metro—Counties in MSAs of

populations of 250,000 to 999,999.

Small metro—Counties in MSAs of

populations less than 250,000.

Nonmetropolitan categories

Micropolitan—Counties in micropolitan

statistical areas.

Noncore—Nonmetropolitan counties

that did not qualify as micropolitan.

Figure 1. Structure of the 2013 NCHS Urban–Rural Classification Scheme for Counties

United States were identified as either

metropolitan or nonmetropolitan, and

nonmetropolitan counties were further

identified as either micropolitan or

noncore (4). MSA populations were

derived from the Vintage 2012

postcensal estimates of the July 1, 2012,

resident population of counties and were

used to divide metropolitan counties into

three categories based on the population

size of their MSA: large (MSA

population of 1 million or more),

medium (MSA population of

250,000–999,999), and small (MSA

population less than 250,000) (5).

Counties in the large metro category

(MSA population of 1 million or more)

were further subdivided into the large

central metro and large fringe metro

categories of the NCHS scheme using

the classification rules outlined above

that involve the location of the MSA

principal cities. The set of principal

cities used to subdivide the large MSAs

was based on city designations in the

February 2013 OMB delineation of

MSAs (6). Principal city populations

were derived from the Vintage 2012

postcensal estimates of the July 1, 2012,

resident population of places (7).

The classification rule assignments

of the large metro counties (counties in

MSAs of 1 million or more population)

to the large central metro and large

fringe metro categories were confirmed

with a discriminant analysis. The

discriminant model included settlement

density, socioeconomic, and

demographic variables considered key in

differentiating central and fringe

counties (see Appendix I for details).

The discriminant analysis confirmed that

large central metro and large fringe

metro counties continue to differ on key

characteristics and that the classification

rules continue to work well. As for the

2006 scheme, the discriminant analysis

also identified counties whose

assignments warranted review (those

with discordant classification rule and

discriminant model assignments). For

the 2013 scheme, only 12 of the 436

large metro counties had discordant

assignments according to the two

methods. After examining various

characteristics of these counties, the

classification rule assignments of five

were changed. The classification rule

assignments of the remaining seven

discordant counties were not changed

(Appendix I).

The number of counties and

percentage of the U.S. population in

each level of the 2013 NCHS scheme

are presented in Table 2. Thirty-seven

percent (1,167 counties) of the 3,143

counties were assigned to a metropolitan

category and 63% were assigned to a

nonmetropolitan category (20%, 641

counties, were assigned to the

micropolitan category and the remaining

42%, 1,335 counties, were assigned to

the noncore category). Although a

majority of counties are

nonmetropolitan, the vast majority of

the U.S. population resides in MSAs

(85%). All counties and their

classifications under the 2013 NCHS

scheme are shown in the map

(Figure 2). The map illustrates that the

eastern half of the United States is more

densely settled than the western half and

that counties east of the Mississippi

River are smaller than those west of the

river. A listing of county assignments

according to the 2013, 2006, and 1990

census-based NCHS schemes is

provided in Appendix II.

Table 3 presents medians of selected

county characteristics for each of the six

urbanization levels. Median county

population, population density, and

housing densities decrease with

decreasing urbanization. The differences

Figure 2. Distribution of counties according to the 2013 NCHS Urban–Rural Classification Scheme for Counties

are especially large. The median

percentage of residents commuting

outside of the county to work and the

median percentage of the population that

is non-Hispanic white are lower for

large central counties than for counties

at the other urbanization levels. Large

fringe metro counties have the highest

percentage commuting outside of the

county to work, the highest median

household income, and the lowest

percentage of families below the poverty

level. Noncore counties have

substantially lower median population,

population and housing densities, a

lower median household income, and a

somewhat less racially and ethnically

diverse population than counties at the

other urbanization levels.

Changes in County

Urbanization Category:

Comparing 2013 and 2006

Schemes

Comparison of the 2013 and 2006

NCHS scheme assignments for each

county showed that 286 (9%) had

different category assignments in the

two schemes (Table 4). Most of these

286 counties moved to a more urban

category, with about 17% shifting from

a less urban metropolitan category to a

more urban one, about 40% shifting

from a nonmetropolitan category to a

metropolitan category, and 15% shifting

from the noncore category to the

micropolitan category. Many of the

category shifts involved MSAs and

micropolitan statistical areas shifting

from one level to another because of

population growth. Some shifts involved

changes in the composition of specific

MSAs (counties being added or deleted).

Few shifts occurred among the large

central and large fringe metro counties;

all 63 of the counties in the large central

metro category for the 2006 scheme also

were large central for the 2013 scheme;

338 of the 354 large fringe counties in

the 2006 scheme also were large fringe

counties for the 2013 scheme.

Twenty-eight percent (81 counties) of

the 286 counties that changed category

moved from a more urban category to a

less urban one. One-half of these shifts

occurred because the county was

identified as micropolitan under the

December 2005 OMB delineation, but

as noncore under the February 2013

OMB delineation.
Series 2, No. 166 [ Page 5

As a result of the 286 county

category shifts, the four metropolitan

levels of the 2013 NCHS scheme have

more counties than the corresponding

levels of the 2006 scheme, and the two

nonmetropolitan levels have fewer

(Table 2). The largest differences in the

category counts occur for the medium

metro level (373 counties in the 2013

scheme compared with 332 in the 2006

scheme) and the micropolitan level (641

counties in the 2013 scheme compared

with 694 in the 2006 scheme). The

percentage of the U.S. population in

each of the six levels was similar for the

two schemes.

Health Measures by

Urbanization Level

The 2013 and 2006 NCHS

Urban–Rural Classification Schemes for

Counties were merged with National

Vital Statistics System (NVSS) mortality

records and National Health Interview

Survey (NHIS) data using restricted-use

files to illustrate the ability of the

NCHS scheme to identify health

differences across urbanization levels.

Sex-specific death rates for selected age

groups and causes of death during

2008–2010 were examined across the

urbanization levels (Tables 5 and 6).

Estimates of a health status measure

(report of fair or poor health), a health

access measure (lack of health

insurance), and a health-related behavior

(current cigarette smoking) were

examined using data from the

2010–2012 NHIS (Table 7). NHIS

collects data on a broad range of health

topics through personal household

interviews. For all of the health

measures, a test of linear trend across

the urbanization levels was performed.

For all but 4 of the 10 health measures

(death rates for adults aged 65 and over,

motor vehicle and cerebrovascular death

rates, and percentage who currently

smoke), the large central metro category

value was higher than the large fringe

metro category value, so the large

central metro category was omitted from

the trend analysis. For each of the health

measures, the statistical significance of

pairwise comparisons of the urban–rural

categories was assessed using a z test

and a p value of 0.05 without adjusting

for multiple comparisons. Note that

while the large central metro category

was omitted from some of the trend

analyses, it was included in all of the

pairwise comparisons.

For all of the health measures

examined, the estimates for each

urbanization level under the 2013 and

2006 NCHS schemes were identical or

very similar. Therefore, statements about

the patterns observed will be restricted

to the 2013 estimates.

Infant mortality—Infant mortality rates

during 2008-2010 increased for both

sexes with decreasing urbanization from

a low in large fringe metro counties. For

both males and females, infant mortality

was 11%–23% lower in fringe counties

than in any of the other urbanization

levels.

Mortality for children and young

adults—For males aged 1–24 years, the

2008–2010 age-adjusted death rate was

lowest in large fringe metro counties

and highest in noncore counties (the

most rural counties). Comparing rates

for males in fringe counties with those

in the other urbanization levels shows

that the rates in large central, medium,

and small metro counties were all

moderately higher (5%–8%), the rate in

micropolitan counties was 22% higher,

and the rate in noncore counties was

57% higher. For females, the 2008–2010

age-adjusted death rates in large central

and large fringe metro counties were

similarly low, those in medium and

small metro counties were about 10%

higher, and those in micropolitan and

noncore counties were 34% and 68%

higher, respectively.

Mortality for adults aged 25–64—In

2008–2010, the death rate for adults

aged 25–64 was lowest in fringe

counties of large metro areas and

increased steadily as counties become

more rural. The age-adjusted death rate

in the noncore counties was 44%

higher for males and 47% higher for

females. For both males and females in

this age group, the death rate was higher

in large central metro counties than in

large fringe metro counties.

Mortality for adults aged 65 and

over—Among adults aged 65 and over,

the 2008–2010 age-adjusted death rate

was lowest in large central metro

counties and increased with decreasing

urbanization. For both sexes, the death

rate in noncore counties was 14% higher

than the rate in large central metro

counties.

Homicide—The 2008–2010 ageadjusted homicide rate for males in

large central metro counties was about

one and one-half times the rate in

medium metro counties and more than

double the rate in any of the other

urbanization levels. There was no linear

trend across the urbanization levels. For

females, the homicide rate was highest

in large central metro and noncore

counties. Homicide rates for females are

much lower than those for males, and

the relative differences among the rates

in the urbanization levels were smaller

than those among males.

Motor vehicle accident mortality—

Death rates for motor vehicle accidents

increase markedly as counties become

less urban. For males, the 2008–2010

age-adjusted motor vehicle death rates

in the most rural noncore counties were

nearly three times as high as those in

large central metro counties; for

females, they were more than three

times as high.

Cerebrovascular disease mortality—

For males, the 2008–2010 age-adjusted

cerebrovascular disease death rate was

lowest in large fringe metro counties

and increased with decreasing

urbanization level (the rates in

micropolitan and noncore counties were

about 23% higher than in large fringe

counties). For females, the age-adjusted

cerebrovascular disease death rates also

increased with decreasing urbanization

level, but the rate was similarly lowest

in the large central and large fringe

metro counties. The rate in noncore

counties was about 29% higher than the

rates in the large central and fringe

counties.

Health status—The percentage of NHIS

respondents aged 18–64 reporting fair or

poor health (out of a five-level scale of

excellent, very good, good, fair, or poor)
Page 6 [ Series 2, No. 166

during 2010–2012 was lowest among

those residing in large fringe metro

counties and increased as counties

became less urban. Compared with large

fringe metro counties, the prevalence of

fair or poor health was 21% higher in

large central metro counties and twice

as high in noncore counties.

Health insurance—The percentage of

NHIS respondents aged 18–64 reporting

no health insurance during 2010–2012

was lowest in large fringe metro

counties and increased with decreasing

urbanization. Lack of health insurance

was 34%–53% higher for large central

metro and nonmetropolitan

(micropolitan and noncore) residents

than for residents of large fringe metro

counties. For medium and small metro

counties, the percentage reporting no

health insurance was 22%–24% higher

than that for large fringe metro counties.

Current smokers—The percentage of

NHIS respondents aged 18–64 reporting

during 2010–2012 that they smoked

cigarettes increased steadily with

decreasing urbanization. The percentage

was 16.9% among residents of large

central metro counties and

29.1%–29.4% among residents of

nonmetropolitan counties.

Application of the 2013 NCHS

urban–rural scheme to the selected

mortality and health measures

demonstrated that the six levels of the

scheme capture important health

differentials across the entire

urbanization spectrum. The examples

show that residents of large fringe metro

counties fare better on most of the

mortality and health measures than

residents of other urbanization levels

(including residents of large central

metro counties). In addition, significant

differences for several measures were

observed between medium and small

metro counties and between

micropolitan and noncore counties.

Application of the 2006 NCHS scheme

to the same data to which the 2013

scheme was applied produced identical

or very similar estimates.

Considerations When

Analyzing Trends

Using Urbanization

Classification

Schemes

Changes in the classification of

counties that result when urbanization

schemes are updated ensure that current

settlement patterns are represented, but

they can make comparison of statistics

computed using different versions of the

scheme problematic. When studying

urban–rural differentials in health over a

time period that spans more than one

version of an urban–rural classification

scheme, the analyst must decide whether

to compute the health measures using

the schemes in effect at each point in

time, or to compute them using only

one version of the scheme. For some

purposes, using different versions of an

urbanization scheme in an analysis may

be appropriate; for other purposes, it

may be desirable to compute all of the

statistics using the same version so that

a stable set of counties is used.

Certainly, whenever statistics are

computed for several years of data

combined, data for the aggregated years

should be classified using the same

version of the urban–rural scheme. It

may be useful to assess the

comparability of different versions of an

urbanization scheme by computing

statistics using the different schemes.

As described in ‘‘Changes in

County Urbanization Category:

Comparing 2013 and 2006 Schemes,’’

the county assignments under the 2013

and 2006 NCHS schemes are similar:

91% of counties were assigned to the

same category for both schemes, and

most category shifts occurred between

the two nonmetropolitan levels (where

they are less noticeable because of the

large numbers of counties in those

levels). As a result, statistics computed

using the 2013 and 2006 schemes were

quite similar. This was illustrated in

‘‘Health Measures by Urbanization

Level.’’ There were many more

differences between the county

assignments under the 2006 and 1990

census-based NCHS schemes; thus,

statistics computed using these two

schemes are more likely to differ (1).

Summary

This report describes the 2013

NCHS Urban–Rural Classification

Scheme for Counties and demonstrates

its use in describing urban–rural health

differences. The 2013 NCHS scheme,

which was constructed using 2010

census-based data, is an update of the

2006 NCHS scheme. Like the 2006

scheme, it groups U.S. counties into six

urbanization levels reflecting their

position on a continuum ranging from

most urban to most rural: large central

metro, large fringe metro, medium

metro, small metro, micropolitan, and

noncore. Because the 2010 OMB

standards for defining MSAs and

micropolitan statistical areas did not

change materially from the 2000 OMB

standards, and the rules used to assign

counties to the six urban–rural levels of

the scheme did not change, any category

shifts between the 2006 and 2013

NCHS schemes are simply a reflection

of population or commuting gains or

losses. As a result, the county

assignments of the 2013 and 2006

NCHS schemes are similar. Application

of the two schemes to selected health

measures from NVSS mortality files and

NHIS data produced very similar

estimates. Significant health differences

between residents of the six urbanization

levels were observed. For some

measures, residents of large fringe metro

counties fared better than residents of

other urbanization levels, demonstrating

the importance of separating large metro

counties into the large central and large

fringe metro categories.

Assessing the magnitude and types

of health problems confronting

communities at different urbanization

levels contributes to effective health

programs and policies. The NCHS

scheme is a useful tool for studying

associations between urbanization level

of residence and health and for

monitoring the health of urban and rural

residents. A key feature of the NCHS

scheme is its separation of MSAs of
Series 2, No. 166

[ Page7

1 million or more population into the

large central metro and large fringe

metro categories. This feature is

important because residents of central

and fringe counties often differ

substantially on health measures, and

residents of fringe counties often fare

better than residents of other

urbanization levels. This feature means

that the NCHS scheme providesa more

accurate characterization of differences

in health measures across the complete

range of the urban–rural continuum than

other urban–rural schemes. The NCHS

scheme is available on some NCHS data

files (both public-use and restricted-use)

and can be linked to many other NCHS

restricted-use data files as well as to

other county-level data files.

Appendix I. Assignment of Large Metropolitan Counties

Large metropolitian (metro)

counties [counties in metropolitan

statistical areas (MSAs) of 1 million or

more population] are assigned either to

the large central metro category or the

large fringe metro category of the

National Center for Health Statistics

(NCHS) Urban-Rural Classification

Scheme for Counties. Classification

rules based on the location of principal

city populations are used to make the

assignments. The same rules used to

make these assignments for the 2006

NCHS scheme were used to make

assignments for the 2013 NCHS scheme

(Table 1). Whether the rules achieved a

reasonable separation of the large metro

counties into the categories for the 2013

scheme was assessed by examining the

agreement between each county’s

classification rule assignment and its

assignment according to a discriminant

model that included selected settlement

density, socioeconomic, and

demographic variables.

Discriminant Analysis

The settlement density,

socioeconomic, and demographic

variables considered for inclusion in the

discriminant model were derived from

the 2010 census, the 2006–2010

American Community Survey, and the

Vintage 2012 postcensal estimates of the

resident population of counties. A

stepwise discriminant procedure

(performed using SAS PROC

STEPDISC) identified 12 variables as

significant predictors of urbanization

category. These variables were included

in the discriminant model fit using SAS

PROC DISCRIM (8):

+	 Population of the MSA as of July 1,

2012 (log)

+	 Population of the county as of July

1, 2012 (log)

+	 Population density (number of

people residing per square mile)

+	 Mean housing density of urban

block groups (number of housing

units per square mile for block

groups with 640 or more housing

units per square mile)

+	 Mean housing density of exurban or

rural block groups (number of

housing units per square mile for

block groups with fewer than 64

housing units per square mile)

+	 Percentage of county area in urban

block groups (block groups with 640

or more housing units per square

mile)

+	 Percentage of county area in

exurban or rural block groups (block

groups with fewer than 64 housing

units per square mile)

+	 Percentage of housing units that are

owner occupied

+	 Percentage of county residents

commuting outside of the county for

work

+	 Ratio of jobs to workers in the

county

+	 Median household income in the

county

+	 Percentage of families below the

poverty level

The classification rule and

discriminant model county assignments

were in close agreement—they made the

same assignment for all but 12 of the

436 large metro counties (Table I). Four

of the 12 counties for which there was

disagreement were categorized as central

by the classification rules and as fringe

by the discriminant model; the

remaining eight were categorized as

fringe by the classification rules and as

central by the discriminant model. Thus,

as for the 2006 NCHS scheme, the

separation of large metro counties

achieved using simple classification

rules based on the location of large

principal city populations within the

MSAs closely parallels the separation

achieved using a discriminant model

with settlement density, socioeconomic,

and demographic variables.

Resolution of Discordant

Assignments

The 12 counties with discordant

assignments in 2013 and the 10 counties

with discordant assignments in 2006 are

shown in Table II. Six of the 12 counties

that were discordant for the 2013

scheme were similarly discordant for the

2006 scheme; the other six were

classified as fringe in 2006 by both

methods. The remaining four counties

that had discordant assignments in 2006

had concordant assignments in 2013.

For three of these, the 2013 assignment

agreed with the final 2006 assignment,

but for the fourth, Norfolk city, VA, it

did not. In 2006, Norfolk city was given

a final assignment of large central

metro, while in 2013 both the

classification rules and discriminant

model assigned it to large fringe metro.

1For the 2013 NCHS scheme, category assignments by classification rules and discriminant model disagreed.

2For the 2006 NCHS scheme, category assignments by classification rules and discriminant model disagreed.

3Although the classification rules and discriminant model both assigned Norfolk city to the fringe category for the 2013 NCHS scheme, it was assigned to the central category after examination of

settlement, socioeconomic, and population variables. This assignment is consistent with its final assignment for the 2006 NCHS scheme.

NOTES: NCHS is National Center for Health Statistics; metro is metropolitan.

Final Assignment

The final 2013 assignment for the

12 counties for which the classification

rule and discriminant model assignments

did not agree was made after comparing

the settlement density, socioeconomic,

and demographic characteristics of each

county with those of the counties

assigned to the central and fringe

categories (data not shown). The

classification rule assignments of 4 of

the 12 counties (Alexandria city, VA;

Arlington County, VA; Pinellas County,

FL; and Union County, NJ) were

changed from large fringe metro to large

central metro because of their large

populations and high housing densities,

and because their socioeconomic and

demographic characteristics were more

like those of large central metro

counties than those of large fringe metro

counties (Table II). The classification

rule assignment of Arapahoe County,

CO, was changed from large central to

large fringe metro because its settlement

density values were more similar to

those of large fringe counties than those

of large central metro counties. The

classification rule assignments of the

seven remaining counties were not

changed. For two of them, Providence

County, RI, and Virginia Beach city, VA,

their assignment by the classification

rules to the large central metro category

was retained because both counties

contained all of the population of the

largest principal city of their MSA.

Although the classification rules and

discriminant model assigned Norfolk

city, VA, to the large fringe metro

category, its assignment was changed to

large central metro after examination of

its settlement density, socioeconomic,

and demographic variable values. This

change made its 2013 assignment

consistent with its 2006 assignment. The

final assignment of the 436 large metro

counties assigned 68 counties to the

large central metro category and 368 to

the large fringe metro category

(Table 2).

Comparison of Large

Central and Large Fringe

Metro Counties

After making the final category

assignments, the settlement density,

socioeconomic, and demographic

characteristics of the large central metro

counties were compared with those of

the large fringe metro counties to assess

the magnitude of the differences in their

characteristics. Table III shows the first

quartile, median, and third quartile

values for the examined characteristics

(means are not shown because the

distributions of many of the

characteristics are highly skewed). There

were substantial differences between the

central and fringe counties for many of

the variables. Generally, the interquartile

portion of the fringe county distribution

does not overlap that of the central

county distribution. In summary:

Settlement density: Large central

counties tend to be more densely settled

than large fringe counties. Median

county population, population density,

and housing density were about 9–10

times as high among large central

counties compared with large fringe

counties. In addition, large central

counties had substantially higher

housing densities within urban block

groups, larger percentages of their areas

in urban block groups, and smaller

percentages of their areas in exurban

and rural block groups.

2For all racial and ethnic groups other than non-Hispanic white persons compared with non-Hispanic white persons alone group. The index ranges from 0 (fully segregated) through 1 (fully integrated).
 

NOTES: NCHS is National Center for Health Statistics; metro is metropolitan.
 

Socioeconomic: The median percentage

commuting to another county for work

was 67% lower and percentage of

owner-occupied housing units was

almost 33% lower in large central

counties than in large fringe counties.

The median jobs-to-workers ratio is

considerably higher in large central

counties than in fringe counties. Despite

this, the median unemployment rate is

higher and the median household

income is lower in central counties,

though the central and fringe county

distributions overlap considerably.

Additionally, the median percentage of

families with income below the poverty

level was 58% higher in large central

counties compared with fringe counties.

Demographic: Large central counties

tend to be much more racially and

ethnically diverse than large fringe

counties, as shown by comparing the

percentage of the population that is

non-Hispanic white and the percentage

that is foreign-born. The isolation index

for all groups other than non-Hispanic

white persons (compared with

non-Hispanic white persons alone) is

substantially higher in large central

counties than in large fringe counties,

indicating that the probability that

someone who is not non-Hispanic white

will meet someone else who is

non-Hispanic white in their census tract

is higher in central counties than in

fringe counties (9,10).

A list of all counties in large metro

areas for the 2013 NCHS scheme is

shown in Table IV, which is organized

by MSA. The assignments of large

metro counties to the large central and

large fringe categories in the 2013 and

2006 NCHS schemes also are shown in
