  "term": "Metropolitan and NECTA divisions",
  "field": "Economic statistics",
  "definition": "Subareas of a Metropolitan Statistical Area or NECTA for which independent estimates can be derived.\n\nNote: Eleven Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) and New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs) are large enough to be subdivided into metropolitan divisions. MSAs and NECTAs are identified by five-digit codes in which the fifth digit is zero. The metropolitan divisions are also identified by five-digit codes - codes for metropolitan divisions all end in 4, so they can be easily distinguished from MSAs and NECTAs. For example, the Dallas-Plano-Irving, TX, Metropolitan Division (code 19124) and the Fort Worth-Arlington, TX, Metropolitan Division (23104) make up the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Statistical Area (19100).\n\nSee metropolitan statistical area and NECTAs.",
