New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs), combined NECTAs, and metropolitan NECTA divisions are defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). These areas are based on cities and towns in six New England states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Learn more about New England city and town areas.
The boundaries and titles depicted on these maps reflect the definitions described by OMB on June 6, 2003. These definitions are based on Census 2000 data.
OMB further revised the New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs), combined NECTAs, and metropolitan NECTA division definitions based on new population estimates in December 2003. A map of the new definitions is now available. The December definition is based on the Census Bureau's July 1, 2001 and July 1, 2002 population estimates for cities and towns, and also on local opinion in specified circumstances.
