Resource Abstract:
- description: In New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont), the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) has defined an alternative county subdivision (generally cities and towns) based definition of Core Based
Statistical Areas (CBSAs) known as New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs). NECTAs are defined using the same criteria as
Metropolitan Statistical Areas and Micropolitan Statistical Areas and are identified as either metropolitan or micropolitan,
based, respectively, on the presence of either an urban area of 50,000 or more population or an urban cluster of at least
10,000 and less than 50,000 population. A NECTA containing a single core urban area with a population of at least 2.5 million
may be subdivided to form smaller groupings of cities and towns referred to as NECTA Divisions. The generalized boundaries
in this file are based on those defined by OMB based on the 2010 Census, published in 2013, and updated in 2015.; abstract:
