Dear CTPP listserv members:
I have asked the Census Bureau to post a
reply regarding plans for “core-based statistical areas”. I feel
that I read that 5-years of ACS were going to be used, but it might be my
imagination. So… it is better to hear from the CB, instead of guessing.

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.
