NENGPOP
New England population in minor civil division
Return to Geographic variables list

Description

NENGPOP gives the population in hundreds for minor civil divisions in New England, including towns and independent cities. For New England towns with incorporated municipalities, NENGPOP will be larger than the population reported in CITYPOP. Using NENGPOP, users can construct a definition of "urban" compatible with the published reports of censuses prior to 1930 (See URBAN for further discussion of how the Census Bureau applied differing definitions of "urban" to New England towns in census years before 1930).
