Feature Catalog for the 2014 Current New England City and Town Area (NECTA) National Shapefile
The Current New England City and Town Area (NECTA) National shapefile contains a record for New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont) county subdivisions (generally cities and towns).These NECTAs are based on a definition of Core Based Statistical
Areas (CBSAs) known as New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs). NECTAs are defined using the same criteria as Metropolitan Statistical Areas and Micropolitan
Statistical Areas and are identified as either metropolitan or micropolitan, based, respectively, on the presence of either an urban area of 50,000 or more
population or an urban cluster of at least 10,000 and less than 50,000 population. A NECTA containing a single core urban area with a population of at least
2.5 million may be subdivided to form smaller groupings of cities and towns referred to as NECTA Divisions.
