Dear CTPP Listserv
members: (response below is from OMB)
The Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) is responsible for defining metro and micro areas.
After the 2010 Census, we
expect to complete a full review of the statistical areas in 2013. This
review will apply the 2010 statistical area standards to 2010 Census data and
the American Community Survey 5-year estimates of commuting and employment.
We expect to publish the 2010 standards in an FR notice before December
2010.

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.
