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/town-
based 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.

area standards is available within the "Subjects A to Z" area of the Census Bureau's Internet Site athttp://www.census.gov/, or by contacting:

Combined and Core Based Satistical Area DescriptionThe 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 generalconcept of a metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area is that of a core areacontaining a substantial population nucleus, together with adjacent communitieshaving a high degree of economic and social integration with that core.Metropolitan statistical areas contain at least one urbanized area of 50,000 ormore population; micropolitan statistical areas contain at least one urban clusterof at least 10,000 and less than 50,000 population. If specified criteria are met, ametropolitan statistical area containing a single core with a population of 2.5million or more may be subdivided into metropolitan divisions, which function asdistinct areas within the larger metropolitan statistical area. CBSAs are composedof entire counties. There are 15 metropolitan statistical areas, one of which issubdivided into four metropolitan divisions, and 13 micropolitan statistical areasin New England as of December, 2003.
CSAs are groupings of adjacent metropolitan and/or micropolitan statisticalareas that have social and economic ties as measured by commuting to work, butat lower levels than are found among counties within individual CBSAs. CSAs canbe characterized as representing larger regions that reflect wider-ranging socialand economic interactions, such as wholesaling, commodity distribution, andweekend recreation activities, as well as lower levels of daily commutinginteraction. Under the Standards for Defining Metropolitan and MicropolitanStatistical Areas, a CSA is identified when two adjacent CBSAs have anemployment interchange measure (EIM) of at least 15. (The EIM is defined as thesum of the percentage of employed residents of the smaller area who work in thelarger area and the percentage of employment in the smaller area that isaccounted for by workers who reside in the larger area.) CSAs are automaticallycreated for adjacent areas that have an EIM of 25 or more. Combinations for areaswith EIMs of at least 15 but less than 25 are identified only if local opinion in bothareas favors their combining. There are five CSAs containing 14 CBSAs in NewEngland as of December, 2003.
