The TIGER/Line Shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) System. The MAF/TIGER System represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line Shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The TIGERweb REST Services allows users to integrate the Census Bureau's Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing database (TIGER) data into their own GIS or custom web-based applications.For a more detailed description of the areas listed or terms below, refer to TIGER/Line documentation or the Geographic Areas Reference Manual, (GARM).This REST service contains Combined New England City and Town Area (CNECTA), Combined Statistical Area (CSA), Metropolitan Division, Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSA), and New England City and Town Area (NECTA) boundaries.Combined New England City and Town Areas (CNECTAs) consist of two or more adjacent NECTAs that have significant employment interchanges. The NECTAs that combine to create a CNECTA retain separate identities within the larger combined statistical areas.

Combined Statistical Areas (CSAs) consist of two or more adjacent CBSAs that have significant employment interchanges. The CBSAs that combine to create a CSA retain separate identities within the larger CSAs.

Metropolitan Divisions are smaller groupings of counties or equivalent entities within a metropolitan statistical area that contains a single core with 2.5 million inhabitants.

Core Based Statistical Area Codes (CBSA) are the metropolitan statistical areas, micropolitan statistical areas, NECTAs, metropolitan divisions, and NECTA divisions use a 5-character code. Each metropolitan statistical area must have one urbanized area of 50,000 or more inhabitants. Each micropolitan statistical area must have one urban cluster of 10,000 to 49,999 inhabitants.

New England City and Town Area (NECTA) Divisions are smaller groupings of cities and towns within a NECTA that contains a single core with 2.5 million inhabitants. A NECTA Division consists of a main city or town that represents an employment center, as well as adjacent cities and towns associated with the main city or town through commuting ties. Each NECTA Division must contain a total population of 100,000 or more.

description: Combined New England City and Town Areas (CNECTA) are defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and consist of two or more adjacent New England City and Town Areas (NECTA) that have significant employment interchanges. The NECTAs that combine to create a CNECTA retain separate identities within the larger combined statistical area. Because CNECTAs represent groupings of NECTAs, they should not be ranked or compared with individual NECTAs. The CNECTA boundaries are those defined by OMB based on the 2010 Census and published in 2013.; abstract: Combined New England City and Town Areas (CNECTA) are defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and consist of two or more adjacent New England City and Town Areas (NECTA) that have significant employment interchanges.
