Geographic Coding: Metro Areas
The specific metropolitan identifiers on this file are based on the Office of Management and Budget's June 30, 1984 definitions. MSA's and PMSA's can be identified by using the FIPS MSA/PMSA code (List 3). Identification of Individual central cities is based on a combination of codes (List 2). Individual central cities are identified by the appropriate central city code and the FIPS MSA/PMSA code. Some examples of the proper coding of specific metropolitan areas are given below.

Dallas-Fort Worth, TX CMSA N/C 1920 and 2800
Fort Worth-Arlington, TX PMSA N/C 2800
Fort Worth, TX Central City 1 2800
Phoenix, AZ MSA N/C 6200
Mesa, AZ Central City 2 6200
Burlington, VT MSA N/C 1305
N/C = No Code Required
NOTE:
Many of the smaller metropolitan areas in sample do not contain central city/balance breakdowns and hence, are coded ``not identifiable'' in the household central city metropolitan statistical area residence status code (HCCC-R). It is recommended that this code in conjunction with the modified household metropolitan statistical area residence status code (HMSA-R) be used for tallying metropolitan residence status for national and other grouped data. The HG in each listing refers to Household Geographic.
