New England County Metropolitan Area
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) defines metropolitan areas (MAs) following the official standards published in the Federal Register (55 FR 12154-12160) on March 30, 1990. MAs comprise metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), consolidated metropolitan statistical areas (CMSAs), and primary metropolitan statistical areas (PMSAs). These areas are defined in terms of entire counties, except in the six New England States where they are defined in terms of cities and towns. New England county metropolitan areas (NECMAs) are an alternative set of county-based areas defined for New England states.
