Metro area Metro areas, defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, can span several counties. A community may be rural in character but still fall within a metro area. Population Figures are the 1999 estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau in October 2000. We are currently uploading the 2000 Census figures. Proximity search Proximity searches are designed to provide an overview of a region, rather than a precise measurement of mileage.
Distance is measured from the approximate center of a community or place.
The United States has a wide array of community types. Counties are called parishes in Louisiana. Boroughs in New York are something altogether different from boroughs in New Jersey. Maine has community divisions called plantations and New Hampshire has grants, locations and purchases. 2001 ePodunk Inc. All rights reserved.
