Do you know what the rules relating to commuting and population density, referred to in
the definition, are?

Here's the definition of MSA from
Census.gov(http://factfinder.census.gov/home/en/epss/glossary_m.html)
Vishu.
Metropolitan statistical area (MSA)
A geographic entity defined by the federal Office of Management and
Budget for use by federal statistical agencies, based on the concept of
a core area with a large population nucleus, plus adjacent communities
having a high degree of economic and social integration with that core.
Qualification of an MSA requires the presence of a city with 50,000 or
more inhabitants, or the presence of an Urbanized Area (UA) and a total
population of at least 100,000 (75,000 in New England). The county or
counties containing the largest city and surrounding densely settled
territory are central counties of the MSA. Additional outlying counties
qualify to be included in the MSA by meeting certain other criteria of
metropolitan character, such as a specified minimum population density
or percentage of the population that is urban. MSAs in New England are
defined in terms of minor civil divisions, following rules concerning
commuting and population density.
Related terms: Consolidated metropolitan statistical area (CMSA),
Primary metropolitan statistical area (PMSA)

I have a question about how the ACS will be used to define MSA's---
since the commuter data is key to MSA definition, does anyone know how
these will be defined in the future?

Subject: [CTPP] Urban Area Boundaries
On June 12 FHWA and Census Staff hosted a webinar on the Census Bureau's
plans for defining Urbanized Area Boundaries. At the webinar more
questions were asked than there was time answer. Consequently all the
questions were collected and Q/A developed. It can be downloaded from
the CTPP webinar room by going to
http://fhwa.acrobat.com/ctpp1,
entering as a guest and saving the "Census Q and A v8.pdf" file to your
computer.
In the webinar room there are also links to the recording of the
complete June 12 webinar (
http://fhwa.na3.acrobat.com/p20171907/) as
well as several other recorded webinars.
For your convenience I have also attached the Q/As to this email.
