I forgot to mention that I also have the NECTA Boundaries as well!

Attributes include NECTA Code, NECTA Name, Type (METRO or MICRO), Area, and Perimeter.

(*** I DID NOT distinguish the NECTA Divisions within the Boston Metropolitan NECTA)

I have created the boundaries from the definitions that were posted (the updated 
definitions from December 2003) on the Census web site. They are called "Core Based 
Statistical Areas" as a new name, since there are now "Metropolitan" and 
"Micropolitan" areas.

I attributed the boundaries with the CBSA number, CBSA name, type (METRO or MICRO), 
CSA number (if applicable), CSA name (if applicable).

If anyone is interested in the boundaries (FREE, of course), contact me via email and 
I will send you the boundaries. I offer no obligations or guarantees with the 
boundaries, you are free to use and distribute as needed. I didn't want to wait for 
the Census to release the boundaries, so we went through the process to make them 
ourselves!

We were waiting on the census dept publish theirs on census.gov, but they're still 
working on them.  Current note says "Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas:  
2004 - Due end of April" but they've been delayed twice. Was due the end of 2003, then 
due the end of March 2004.  So... still waiting.  We ended up purchasing them from 
Proximity One (www.proximityone.com) for a couple hundred dollar. Not too bad of a 
price.

The MSA boundaries have gone though a major revision.  49 new Metropolitan 
Statistical Areas, plus new Micropolitan Statistical Areas, Divisions, and 
Consolidated Statistical Areas. 

Are any free boundary sets available yet?
