The current proposal is for:

a few, small, adjustments to the delineation rules,

delineation updates once every five years, and

annual review only for new qualifying CBSAs.

Subject: [CTPP] using the ACS to define metro areas

Does anyone know whether metro areas, or whatever they are called, will be adjusted annually based on results of the ACS county level data? Or what data will be used in the definitions? Historically it’s been based on the decennial census numbers about county commuter patterns and population growth.
