New England City and Town Areas

December, 2003

New England City and Town Area Description

The United States Office of Management and Budget defines New England city and town areas (NECTAs) as a city/townbased set of areas conceptually similar to county-based "core based statistical areas" (CBSAs). The general concept of a

metropolitan or micropolitan NECTA is that of a core area containing a substantial population nucleus, together with

adjacent communities having a high degree of economic and social integration with that core. Metropolitan NECTAs

contain at least one urbanized area of 50,000 or more population; micropolitan NECTAs contain at least one urban cluster

of at least 10,000 and less than 50,000 population. If specified criteria are met, a metropolitan NECTA containing a single

urban core with a population of 2.5 million or more may be subdivided into NECTA divisions, which function as distinct

areas within the larger NECTA. There are 21 metropolitan NECTAs, one of which is subdivided into 9 metropolitan NECTA

divisions, and 22 micropolitan NECTAs in New England as of December, 2003.

Combined NECTAs (CNECTAs) are groupings of adjacent metropolitan and/or micropolitan NECTAs areas that have

social and economic ties as measured by commuting to work, but at lower levels than are found among cities and towns

within individual NECTAs. CNECTAs can be characterized as representing larger regions that reflect wider-ranging social

and economic interactions, such as wholesaling, commodity distribution, and weekend recreation activities, as well as

lower levels of daily commuting interaction. Under the Standards for Defining Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical

Areas, a CNETCA is identified when two adjacent NECTAs have an employment interchange measure (EIM) of at least 15.

(The EIM is defined as the sum of the percentage of employed residents of the smaller area who work in the larger area and

the percentage of employment in the smaller area that is accounted for by workers who reside in the larger area.)

CNECTAs are automatically created for adjacent areas that have an EIM of 25 or more. Combinations for areas with EIMs of

at least 15 but less than 25 are identified only if local opinion in both areas favors their combining. There are 10 CNECTAs

containing 27 NECTAs in New England as of December, 2003.

Source Description

NECTA, NECTA division, and CNECTA boundaries and names are as of December, 2003.

All other boundaries are as of January 1, 2000.

Combined and Core Based Satistical Area Description

The United States Office of Management and Budget defines combined

statistical areas (CSAs) and metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas

(referred to collectively as "core based statistical areas"-CBSAs). The general

concept of a metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area is that of a core area

containing a substantial population nucleus, together with adjacent communities

having a high degree of economic and social integration with that core.

Metropolitan statistical areas contain at least one urbanized area of 50,000 or

more population; micropolitan statistical areas contain at least one urban cluster

of at least 10,000 and less than 50,000 population. If specified criteria are met, a

metropolitan statistical area containing a single core with a population of 2.5

million or more may be subdivided into metropolitan divisions, which function as

distinct areas within the larger metropolitan statistical area. CBSAs are composed

of entire counties. There are 15 metropolitan statistical areas, one of which is

subdivided into four metropolitan divisions, and 13 micropolitan statistical areas

in New England as of December, 2003.

CSAs are groupings of adjacent metropolitan and/or micropolitan statistical

areas that have social and economic ties as measured by commuting to work, but

at lower levels than are found among counties within individual CBSAs. CSAs can

be characterized as representing larger regions that reflect wider-ranging social

and economic interactions, such as wholesaling, commodity distribution, and

weekend recreation activities, as well as lower levels of daily commuting

interaction. Under the Standards for Defining Metropolitan and Micropolitan

Statistical Areas, a CSA is identified when two adjacent CBSAs have an

employment interchange measure (EIM) of at least 15. (The EIM is defined as the

sum of the percentage of employed residents of the smaller area who work in the

larger area and the percentage of employment in the smaller area that is

accounted for by workers who reside in the larger area.) CSAs are automatically

created for adjacent areas that have an EIM of 25 or more. Combinations for areas

with EIMs of at least 15 but less than 25 are identified only if local opinion in both

areas favors their combining. There are five CSAs containing 14 CBSAs in New

England as of December, 2003.

Source Description

CSA and CBSA boundaries and names are as of December, 2003.

All other boundaries are as of January 1, 2000.
