Objectives
This report details development of the
2013 National Center for Health Statistics’
(NCHS) Urban–Rural Classification
Scheme for Counties (update of the 2006
NCHS scheme) and applies it to health
measures to demonstrate urban-rural
health differences.
Methods
The methodology used to construct the
2013 NCHS scheme was the same as
that used for the 2006 NCHS scheme, but
2010 census-based data were used rather
than 2000 census-based data. All U.S.
counties and county-equivalent entities are
assigned to one of six levels (four
metropolitan and two nonmetropolitan)
based on: 1) their February 2013 Of fice of
Management and Budget designation as
metropolitan, micropolitan, or noncore; 2)
for metropolitan counties, the population
size of the metropolitan statistical area
(MSA) to which they belong; and 3) for
counties in MSAs of 1 million or more, the
location of principal city populations within
the MSA. The 2013 and 2006 NCHS
schemes were applied to data from the
National Vital Statistics System (NVSS)
and National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS) to illustrate differences in selected
health measures by urbanization level and
to assess the magnitude of dif ferences
between estimates from the two schemes.
Results and Conclusions
County urban-rural assignments under
the 2013 NCHS scheme are very similar
to those under the 2006 NCHS scheme.
Application of the updated scheme to
NVSS and NHIS data demonstrated the
continued usefulness of the six categories
for assessing and monitoring health
differences among communities across
the full urbanization spectrum. Residents
of large central and large fringe metro
counties differed substantially on many
health measures, illustrating the
importance of continuing to separate these
counties. Residents of large fringe metro
counties generally fared better than
residents of less urban counties.
Estimates obtained from the 2013 and
2006 schemes were similar.

2013 NCHS Urban–Rural
Classification Scheme for
Counties
by Deborah D. Ingram, Ph.D., and Sheila J. Franco, Office of
Analysis and Epidemiology
Introduction
Urban–rural differences in health
measures have long been recognized.
The National Center for Health
Statistics’ (NCHS) Urban–Rural
Classification Scheme for Counties was
developed for use in studying
associations between urbanization level
of residence and health and for
monitoring the health of urban and rural
residents. The scheme groups U.S.
counties and county-equivalent entities
into six urbanization levels (four
metropolitan and two nonmetropolitan),
on a continuum ranging from most
urban to most rural. (Note: In this
report, the term counties will be used to
refer to counties and county-equivalent
entities.)
The first NCHS urban–rural
scheme, developed in 2001 and referred
to as the 1990 census-based NCHS
urban–rural scheme, was a six-level
classification scheme for counties. This
scheme was based on the 1990 Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
standards for defining metropolitan
statistical areas (MSAs) and on data
from the 1990 census. It was updated in
2006 (referred to as the 2006 NCHS
Urban–Rural Classification Scheme for
Counties), following release of MSAs
and micropolitan statistical area
delineations based on application of the
2000 OMB standards for defining MSAs
and micropolitan statistical areas to
2000 census data. A detailed description
of the construction of these two schemes
is provided in an earlier report (1).
Release of 2010 census-based
population data, and of MSA and
micropolitan statistical area delineations
based on the application of the 2010
OMB standards for defining these areas
to 2010 census data, prompted this
update of the 2006 NCHS scheme. The
updated scheme will be referred to as
the 2013 NCHS Urban–Rural
Classification Scheme for Counties.
The NCHS urban–rural schemes are
county-based because counties generally
are the primary political units of local
government and have programmatic
importance at the federal and state
levels, and their boundaries are
relatively stable. Further, county-level
measures of health and of demographic,
economic, and environmental
characteristics are widely available, in
contrast to the paucity of data available
at the subcounty level.
A distinguishing feature of the
NCHS urban–rural schemes is that they
separate counties in the largest
metropolitan areas (MSAs with
populations of 1 million or more) into
two groups, referred to as large central
metro and large fringe metro. The large
central metro group includes counties
that contain all or part of the area’s
principal city (akin to inner cities); the
large fringe metro group includes the
surrounding counties of the MSA.
NCHS has found that there are
significant health differences between
residents of these two types of counties
and that urban–rural health differences
often are largest between residents of
large fringe metro counties and residents
of the most rural counties. Therefore,
Page 1
Page 2 [ Series 2, No. 166
accurate assessment of urban–rural
health differences requires a
classification scheme that differentiates
between large central metro and large
fringe metro counties.
This report describes the
construction of the 2013 NCHS
Urban–Rural Classification Scheme for
Counties and compares it with the 2006
NCHS scheme. The 2013 NCHS scheme
was constructed using the same
methodology used for the 2006 scheme,
but it is based on 2010 census data
rather than 2000 census data (1). To
illustrate differences in selected health
measures by urbanization level and to
compare estimates from the two
schemes, selected health measures are
analyzed according to both the 2013 and
2006 schemes.
2013 NCHS
Urban–Rural
Classification Scheme
for Counties
The 2013 NCHS Urban–Rural
Classification Scheme for Counties, like
the 2006 NCHS urban–rural scheme, is
a county-level scheme with six levels:
four metropolitan (large central metro,
large fringe metro, medium metro, and
small metro) and two nonmetropolitan
(micropolitan and noncore) (Table 1 and
Figure 1). A detailed description of the
construction of the 2006 NCHS scheme
is provided in an earlier report (1). All
counties in the United States were
assigned to one of the six levels based
on: 1) their status under the OMB
delineation of MSAs and micropolitan
statistical areas, 2) the population size of
MSAs, and 3) the location of principal
city populations within the largest
MSAs (1 million or more population).
2010 OMB Metropolitan–
Nonmetropolitan
Classification of Counties
MSAs and micropolitan statistical
areas, delineated in accordance with the
2010 OMB standards for defining
metropolitan and micropolitan statistical
areas, formed the basis for the 2013
NCHS scheme. The 2010 OMB
standards are nearly identical to the
2000 standards (2). They include criteria
for differentiating metropolitan and
nonmetropolitan counties and for
organizing metropolitan counties into
MSAs and some of the nonmetropolitan
counties into micropolitan statistical
areas. The term core-based statistical
area (CBSA) refers collectively to
MSAs and micropolitan statistical areas.
Nonmetropolitan counties not designated
as micropolitan are referred to as
counties outside of CBSAs or noncore
counties.
According to the 2010 OMB
standards, the basic concept of an MSA
remained that of an area containing a
large population nucleus together with
adjacent communities having a high
degree of economic and social
integration with that core. One or more
census-defined urbanized areas form the
core of an MSA and the county (or
counties) that contain them are referred
to as central counties of the MSA. (An
urbanized area has a population of at
least 50,000 and consists of an urban
nucleus with a population density of
1,000 persons per square mile together
with adjoining territory with at least 500
persons per square mile) (3). In addition
to the central counties, an MSA may
contain outlying counties that are
economically and socially tied to the
central counties as measured by the
percentage commuting to or from the
central counties for work. Generally, all
or most of the counties in MSAs qualify
as central counties.
The concept of a micropolitan
statistical area closely parallels that of
the MSA, but a micropolitan statistical
area comprises nonmetropolitan counties
and has a smaller nucleus. One or more
urban clusters form the core of a
micropolitan statistical area, and the
county (or counties) that contain them
are referred to as central counties (an
urban cluster is a small version of an
urbanized area with 2,500–49,999
inhabitants) (3). In addition to the
central counties, a micropolitan
statistical area may contain outlying
counties that meet specified
requirements of commuting to or from
the central counties.
Nonmetropolitan counties not
defined as micropolitan are considered
to be noncore and may be thought of as
the most rural areas.
The largest incorporated city in an
MSA or micropolitan statistical area is
designated as a principal city. Additional
cities qualify as principal cities if
specified population size and commuting
criteria are met.
County Urbanization
Levels Defined
From the most urban to the most
rural, the six levels of the 2013 NCHS
scheme are defined according to the
following classification rules (Table 1
and Figure 1):
Metropolitan categories
Large central metro—Counties in
MSAs of 1 million or more population
that:
1. Contain the entire population of the
largest principal city of the MSA, or
2. Have their entire population
contained in the largest principal city
of the MSA, or
3. Contain at least 250,000 inhabitants
of any principal city of the MSA.
Large fringe metro—Counties in
MSAs of 1 million or more population
that did not qualify as large central
metro counties.
Medium metro—Counties in MSAs of
populations of 250,000 to 999,999.
Small metro—Counties in MSAs of
populations less than 250,000.
Nonmetropolitan categories
Micropolitan—Counties in micropolitan
statistical areas.
Noncore—Nonmetropolitan counties
that did not qualify as micropolitan.

Figure 1. Structure of the 2013 NCHS Urban–Rural Classification Scheme for Counties
United States were identified as either
metropolitan or nonmetropolitan, and
nonmetropolitan counties were further
identified as either micropolitan or
noncore (4). MSA populations were
derived from the Vintage 2012
postcensal estimates of the July 1, 2012,
resident population of counties and were
used to divide metropolitan counties into
three categories based on the population
size of their MSA: large (MSA
population of 1 million or more),
medium (MSA population of
250,000–999,999), and small (MSA
population less than 250,000) (5).
Counties in the large metro category
(MSA population of 1 million or more)
were further subdivided into the large
central metro and large fringe metro
categories of the NCHS scheme using
the classification rules outlined above
that involve the location of the MSA
principal cities. The set of principal
cities used to subdivide the large MSAs
was based on city designations in the
February 2013 OMB delineation of
MSAs (6). Principal city populations
were derived from the Vintage 2012
postcensal estimates of the July 1, 2012,
resident population of places (7).
The classification rule assignments
of the large metro counties (counties in
MSAs of 1 million or more population)
to the large central metro and large
fringe metro categories were confirmed
with a discriminant analysis. The
discriminant model included settlement
density, socioeconomic, and
demographic variables considered key in
differentiating central and fringe
counties (see Appendix I for details).
The discriminant analysis confirmed that
large central metro and large fringe
metro counties continue to differ on key
characteristics and that the classification
rules continue to work well. As for the
2006 scheme, the discriminant analysis
also identified counties whose
assignments warranted review (those
with discordant classification rule and
discriminant model assignments). For
the 2013 scheme, only 12 of the 436
large metro counties had discordant
assignments according to the two
methods. After examining various
characteristics of these counties, the
classification rule assignments of five
were changed. The classification rule
assignments of the remaining seven
discordant counties were not changed
(Appendix I).
The number of counties and
percentage of the U.S. population in
each level of the 2013 NCHS scheme
are presented in Table 2. Thirty-seven
percent (1,167 counties) of the 3,143
counties were assigned to a metropolitan
category and 63% were assigned to a
nonmetropolitan category (20%, 641
counties, were assigned to the
micropolitan category and the remaining
42%, 1,335 counties, were assigned to
the noncore category). Although a
majority of counties are
nonmetropolitan, the vast majority of
the U.S. population resides in MSAs
(85%). All counties and their
classifications under the 2013 NCHS
scheme are shown in the map
(Figure 2). The map illustrates that the
eastern half of the United States is more
densely settled than the western half and
that counties east of the Mississippi
River are smaller than those west of the
river. A listing of county assignments
according to the 2013, 2006, and 1990
census-based NCHS schemes is
provided in Appendix II.
Table 3 presents medians of selected
county characteristics for each of the six
urbanization levels. Median county
population, population density, and
housing densities decrease with
decreasing urbanization. The differences

metro counties for these characteristics

Figure 2. Distribution of counties according to the 2013 NCHS Urban–Rural Classification Scheme for Counties
are especially large. The median
percentage of residents commuting
outside of the county to work and the
median percentage of the population that
is non-Hispanic white are lower for
large central counties than for counties
at the other urbanization levels. Large
fringe metro counties have the highest
percentage commuting outside of the
county to work, the highest median
household income, and the lowest
percentage of families below the poverty
level. Noncore counties have
substantially lower median population,
population and housing densities, a
lower median household income, and a
somewhat less racially and ethnically
diverse population than counties at the
other urbanization levels.
Changes in County
Urbanization Category:
Comparing 2013 and 2006
Schemes
Comparison of the 2013 and 2006
NCHS scheme assignments for each
county showed that 286 (9%) had
different category assignments in the
two schemes (Table 4). Most of these
286 counties moved to a more urban
category, with about 17% shifting from
a less urban metropolitan category to a
more urban one, about 40% shifting
from a nonmetropolitan category to a
metropolitan category, and 15% shifting
from the noncore category to the
micropolitan category. Many of the
category shifts involved MSAs and
micropolitan statistical areas shifting
from one level to another because of
population growth. Some shifts involved
changes in the composition of specific
MSAs (counties being added or deleted).
Few shifts occurred among the large
central and large fringe metro counties;
all 63 of the counties in the large central
metro category for the 2006 scheme also
were large central for the 2013 scheme;
338 of the 354 large fringe counties in
the 2006 scheme also were large fringe
counties for the 2013 scheme.
Twenty-eight percent (81 counties) of
the 286 counties that changed category
moved from a more urban category to a
less urban one. One-half of these shifts
occurred because the county was
identified as micropolitan under the
December 2005 OMB delineation, but
as noncore under the February 2013
OMB delineation.
Series 2, No. 166 [ Page 5
As a result of the 286 county
category shifts, the four metropolitan
levels of the 2013 NCHS scheme have
more counties than the corresponding
levels of the 2006 scheme, and the two
nonmetropolitan levels have fewer
(Table 2). The largest differences in the
category counts occur for the medium
metro level (373 counties in the 2013
scheme compared with 332 in the 2006
scheme) and the micropolitan level (641
counties in the 2013 scheme compared
with 694 in the 2006 scheme). The
percentage of the U.S. population in
each of the six levels was similar for the
two schemes.
Health Measures by
Urbanization Level
The 2013 and 2006 NCHS
Urban–Rural Classification Schemes for
Counties were merged with National
Vital Statistics System (NVSS) mortality
records and National Health Interview
Survey (NHIS) data using restricted-use
files to illustrate the ability of the
NCHS scheme to identify health
differences across urbanization levels.
Sex-specific death rates for selected age
groups and causes of death during
2008–2010 were examined across the
urbanization levels (Tables 5 and 6).
Estimates of a health status measure
(report of fair or poor health), a health
access measure (lack of health
insurance), and a health-related behavior
(current cigarette smoking) were
examined using data from the
2010–2012 NHIS (Table 7). NHIS
collects data on a broad range of health
topics through personal household
interviews. For all of the health
measures, a test of linear trend across
the urbanization levels was performed.
For all but 4 of the 10 health measures
(death rates for adults aged 65 and over,
motor vehicle and cerebrovascular death
rates, and percentage who currently
smoke), the large central metro category
value was higher than the large fringe
metro category value, so the large
central metro category was omitted from
the trend analysis. For each of the health
measures, the statistical significance of
pairwise comparisons of the urban–rural
categories was assessed using a z test
and a p value of 0.05 without adjusting
for multiple comparisons. Note that
while the large central metro category
was omitted from some of the trend
analyses, it was included in all of the
pairwise comparisons.
For all of the health measures
examined, the estimates for each
urbanization level under the 2013 and
2006 NCHS schemes were identical or
very similar. Therefore, statements about
the patterns observed will be restricted
to the 2013 estimates.
Infant mortality—Infant mortality rates
during 2008-2010 increased for both
sexes with decreasing urbanization from
a low in large fringe metro counties. For
both males and females, infant mortality
was 11%–23% lower in fringe counties
than in any of the other urbanization
levels.
Mortality for children and young
adults—For males aged 1–24 years, the
2008–2010 age-adjusted death rate was
lowest in large fringe metro counties
and highest in noncore counties (the
most rural counties). Comparing rates
for males in fringe counties with those
in the other urbanization levels shows
that the rates in large central, medium,
and small metro counties were all
moderately higher (5%–8%), the rate in
micropolitan counties was 22% higher,
and the rate in noncore counties was
57% higher. For females, the 2008–2010
age-adjusted death rates in large central
and large fringe metro counties were
similarly low, those in medium and
small metro counties were about 10%
higher, and those in micropolitan and
noncore counties were 34% and 68%
higher, respectively.
Mortality for adults aged 25–64—In
2008–2010, the death rate for adults
aged 25–64 was lowest in fringe
counties of large metro areas and
increased steadily as counties become
more rural. The age-adjusted death rate
in the noncore counties was 44%
higher for males and 47% higher for
females. For both males and females in
this age group, the death rate was higher
in large central metro counties than in
large fringe metro counties.
Mortality for adults aged 65 and
over—Among adults aged 65 and over,
the 2008–2010 age-adjusted death rate
was lowest in large central metro
counties and increased with decreasing
urbanization. For both sexes, the death
rate in noncore counties was 14% higher
than the rate in large central metro
counties.
Homicide—The 2008–2010 age-
adjusted homicide rate for males in
large central metro counties was about
one and one-half times the rate in
medium metro counties and more than
double the rate in any of the other
urbanization levels. There was no linear
trend across the urbanization levels. For
females, the homicide rate was highest
in large central metro and noncore
counties. Homicide rates for females are
much lower than those for males, and
the relative differences among the rates
in the urbanization levels were smaller
than those among males.
Motor vehicle accident mortality
Death rates for motor vehicle accidents
increase markedly as counties become
less urban. For males, the 2008–2010
age-adjusted motor vehicle death rates
in the most rural noncore counties were
nearly three times as high as those in
large central metro counties; for
females, they were more than three
times as high.
Cerebrovascular disease mortality
For males, the 2008–2010 age-adjusted
cerebrovascular disease death rate was
lowest in large fringe metro counties
and increased with decreasing
urbanization level (the rates in
micropolitan and noncore counties were
about 23% higher than in large fringe
counties). For females, the age-adjusted
cerebrovascular disease death rates also
increased with decreasing urbanization
level, but the rate was similarly lowest
in the large central and large fringe
metro counties. The rate in noncore
counties was about 29% higher than the
rates in the large central and fringe
counties.
Health status—The percentage of NHIS
respondents aged 18–64 reporting fair or
poor health (out of a five-level scale of
excellent, very good, good, fair, or poor)
Page 6 [ Series 2, No. 166
during 2010–2012 was lowest among
those residing in large fringe metro
counties and increased as counties
became less urban. Compared with large
fringe metro counties, the prevalence of
fair or poor health was 21% higher in
large central metro counties and twice
as high in noncore counties.
Health insurance—The percentage of
NHIS respondents aged 18–64 reporting
no health insurance during 2010–2012
was lowest in large fringe metro
counties and increased with decreasing
urbanization. Lack of health insurance
was 34%–53% higher for large central
metro and nonmetropolitan
(micropolitan and noncore) residents
than for residents of large fringe metro
counties. For medium and small metro
counties, the percentage reporting no
health insurance was 22%–24% higher
than that for large fringe metro counties.
Current smokers—The percentage of
NHIS respondents aged 18–64 reporting
during 2010–2012 that they smoked
cigarettes increased steadily with
decreasing urbanization. The percentage
was 16.9% among residents of large
central metro counties and
29.1%–29.4% among residents of
nonmetropolitan counties.
Application of the 2013 NCHS
urban–rural scheme to the selected
mortality and health measures
demonstrated that the six levels of the
scheme capture important health
differentials across the entire
urbanization spectrum. The examples
show that residents of large fringe metro
counties fare better on most of the
mortality and health measures than
residents of other urbanization levels
(including residents of large central
metro counties). In addition, significant
differences for several measures were
observed between medium and small
metro counties and between
micropolitan and noncore counties.
Application of the 2006 NCHS scheme
to the same data to which the 2013
scheme was applied produced identical
or very similar estimates.
Considerations When
Analyzing Trends
Using Urbanization
Classification
Schemes
Changes in the classification of
counties that result when urbanization
schemes are updated ensure that current
settlement patterns are represented, but
they can make comparison of statistics
computed using different versions of the
scheme problematic. When studying
urban–rural differentials in health over a
time period that spans more than one
version of an urban–rural classification
scheme, the analyst must decide whether
to compute the health measures using
the schemes in effect at each point in
time, or to compute them using only
one version of the scheme. For some
purposes, using different versions of an
urbanization scheme in an analysis may
be appropriate; for other purposes, it
may be desirable to compute all of the
statistics using the same version so that
a stable set of counties is used.
Certainly, whenever statistics are
computed for several years of data
combined, data for the aggregated years
should be classified using the same
version of the urban–rural scheme. It
may be useful to assess the
comparability of different versions of an
urbanization scheme by computing
statistics using the different schemes.
As described in ‘Changes in
County Urbanization Category:
Comparing 2013 and 2006 Schemes,’
the county assignments under the 2013
and 2006 NCHS schemes are similar:
91% of counties were assigned to the
same category for both schemes, and
most category shifts occurred between
the two nonmetropolitan levels (where
they are less noticeable because of the
large numbers of counties in those
levels). As a result, statistics computed
using the 2013 and 2006 schemes were
quite similar. This was illustrated in
‘Health Measures by Urbanization
Level.’ There were many more
differences between the county
assignments under the 2006 and 1990
census-based NCHS schemes; thus,
statistics computed using these two
schemes are more likely to differ (1).
Summary
This report describes the 2013
NCHS Urban–Rural Classification
Scheme for Counties and demonstrates
its use in describing urban–rural health
differences. The 2013 NCHS scheme,
which was constructed using 2010
census-based data, is an update of the
2006 NCHS scheme. Like the 2006
scheme, it groups U.S. counties into six
urbanization levels reflecting their
position on a continuum ranging from
most urban to most rural: large central
metro, large fringe metro, medium
metro, small metro, micropolitan, and
noncore. Because the 2010 OMB
standards for defining MSAs and
micropolitan statistical areas did not
change materially from the 2000 OMB
standards, and the rules used to assign
counties to the six urban–rural levels of
the scheme did not change, any category
shifts between the 2006 and 2013
NCHS schemes are simply a reflection
of population or commuting gains or
losses. As a result, the county
assignments of the 2013 and 2006
NCHS schemes are similar. Application
of the two schemes to selected health
measures from NVSS mortality files and
NHIS data produced very similar
estimates. Significant health differences
between residents of the six urbanization
levels were observed. For some
measures, residents of large fringe metro
counties fared better than residents of
other urbanization levels, demonstrating
the importance of separating large metro
counties into the large central and large
fringe metro categories.
Assessing the magnitude and types
of health problems confronting
communities at different urbanization
levels contributes to effective health
programs and policies. The NCHS
scheme is a useful tool for studying
associations between urbanization level
of residence and health and for
monitoring the health of urban and rural
residents. A key feature of the NCHS
scheme is its separation of MSAs of
Series 2, No. 166 [ Page 7
1 million or more population into the
large central metro and large fringe
metro categories. This feature is
important because residents of central
and fringe counties often differ
substantially on health measures, and
residents of fringe counties often fare
better than residents of other
urbanization levels. This feature means
that the NCHS scheme provides a more
accurate characterization of differences
in health measures across the complete
range of the urban–rural continuum than
other urban–rural schemes. The NCHS
scheme is available on some NCHS data
files (both public-use and restricted-use)
and can be linked to many other NCHS
restricted-use data files as well as to
other county-level data files.

Page 12 [ Series 2, No. 166
Appendix I. Assignment of Large Metropolitan Counties
Large metropolitian (metro)
counties [counties in metropolitan
statistical areas (MSAs) of 1 million or
more population] are assigned either to
the large central metro category or the
large fringe metro category of the
National Center for Health Statistics
(NCHS) Urban-Rural Classification
Scheme for Counties. Classification
rules based on the location of principal
city populations are used to make the
assignments. The same rules used to
make these assignments for the 2006
NCHS scheme were used to make
assignments for the 2013 NCHS scheme
(Table 1). Whether the rules achieved a
reasonable separation of the large metro
counties into the categories for the 2013
scheme was assessed by examining the
agreement between each county’s
classification rule assignment and its
assignment according to a discriminant
model that included selected settlement
density, socioeconomic, and
demographic variables.
Discriminant Analysis
The settlement density,
socioeconomic, and demographic
variables considered for inclusion in the
discriminant model were derived from
the 2010 census, the 2006–2010
American Community Survey, and the
Vintage 2012 postcensal estimates of the
resident population of counties. A
stepwise discriminant procedure
(performed using SAS PROC
STEPDISC) identified 12 variables as
significant predictors of urbanization
category. These variables were included
in the discriminant model fit using SAS
PROC DISCRIM (8):
+ Population of the MSA as of July 1,
2012 (log)
+ Population of the county as of July
1, 2012 (log)
+ Population density (number of
people residing per square mile)
+ Mean housing density of urban
block groups (number of housing
units per square mile for block
groups with 640 or more housing
units per square mile)
+ Mean housing density of exurban or
rural block groups (number of
housing units per square mile for
block groups with fewer than 64
housing units per square mile)
+ Percentage of county area in urban
block groups (block groups with 640
or more housing units per square
mile)
+ Percentage of county area in
exurban or rural block groups (block
groups with fewer than 64 housing
units per square mile)
+ Percentage of housing units that are
owner occupied
+ Percentage of county residents
commuting outside of the county for
work
+ Ratio of jobs to workers in the
county
+ Median household income in the
county
+ Percentage of families below the
poverty level
The classification rule and
discriminant model county assignments
were in close agreement—they made the
same assignment for all but 12 of the
436 large metro counties (Table I). Four
of the 12 counties for which there was
disagreement were categorized as central
by the classification rules and as fringe
by the discriminant model; the
remaining eight were categorized as
fringe by the classification rules and as
central by the discriminant model. Thus,
as for the 2006 NCHS scheme, the
separation of large metro counties
achieved using simple classification
rules based on the location of large
principal city populations within the
MSAs closely parallels the separation
achieved using a discriminant model
with settlement density, socioeconomic,
and demographic variables.
Resolution of Discordant
Assignments
The 12 counties with discordant
assignments in 2013 and the 10 counties
with discordant assignments in 2006 are
shown in Table II. Six of the 12 counties
that were discordant for the 2013
scheme were similarly discordant for the
2006 scheme; the other six were
classified as fringe in 2006 by both
methods. The remaining four counties
that had discordant assignments in 2006
had concordant assignments in 2013.
For three of these, the 2013 assignment
agreed with the final 2006 assignment,
but for the fourth, Norfolk city, VA, it
did not. In 2006, Norfolk city was given
a final assignment of large central
metro, while in 2013 both the
classification rules and discriminant
model assigned it to large fringe metro.

For the 2013 NCHS scheme, category assignments by classification rules and discriminant model disagreed.
2
For the 2006 NCHS scheme, category assignments by classification rules and discriminant model disagreed.
3
Although the classification rules and discriminant model both assigned Norfolk city to the fringe category for the 2013 NCHS scheme, it was assigned to the central category after examination of
settlement, socioeconomic, and population variables. This assignment is consistent with its final assignment for the 2006 NCHS scheme.
NOTES: NCHS is National Center for Health Statistics; metro is metropolitan.
Final Assignment
The final 2013 assignment for the
12 counties for which the classification
rule and discriminant model assignments
did not agree was made after comparing
the settlement density, socioeconomic,
and demographic characteristics of each
county with those of the counties
assigned to the central and fringe
categories (data not shown). The
classification rule assignments of 4 of
the 12 counties (Alexandria city, VA;
Arlington County, VA; Pinellas County,
FL; and Union County, NJ) were
changed from large fringe metro to large
central metro because of their large
populations and high housing densities,
and because their socioeconomic and
demographic characteristics were more
like those of large central metro
counties than those of large fringe metro
counties (Table II). The classification
rule assignment of Arapahoe County,
CO, was changed from large central to
large fringe metro because its settlement
density values were more similar to
those of large fringe counties than those
of large central metro counties. The
classification rule assignments of the
seven remaining counties were not
changed. For two of them, Providence
County, RI, and Virginia Beach city, VA,
their assignment by the classification
rules to the large central metro category
was retained because both counties
contained all of the population of the
largest principal city of their MSA.
Although the classification rules and
discriminant model assigned Norfolk
city, VA, to the large fringe metro
category, its assignment was changed to
large central metro after examination of
its settlement density, socioeconomic,
and demographic variable values. This
change made its 2013 assignment
consistent with its 2006 assignment. The
final assignment of the 436 large metro
counties assigned 68 counties to the
large central metro category and 368 to
the large fringe metro category
(Table 2).
Comparison of Large
Central and Large Fringe
Metro Counties
After making the final category
assignments, the settlement density,
socioeconomic, and demographic
characteristics of the large central metro
counties were compared with those of
the large fringe metro counties to assess
the magnitude of the differences in their
characteristics. Table III shows the first
quartile, median, and third quartile
values for the examined characteristics
(means are not shown because the
distributions of many of the
characteristics are highly skewed). There
were substantial differences between the
central and fringe counties for many of
the variables. Generally, the interquartile
portion of the fringe county distribution
does not overlap that of the central
county distribution. In summary:
Settlement density: Large central
counties tend to be more densely settled
than large fringe counties. Median
county population, population density,
and housing density were about 9–10
times as high among large central
counties compared with large fringe
counties. In addition, large central
counties had substantially higher
housing densities within urban block
groups, larger percentages of their areas
in urban block groups, and smaller
percentages of their areas in exurban
and rural block groups.

For all racial and ethnic groups other than non-Hispanic white persons compared with non-Hispanic white persons alone group. The index ranges from 0 (fully segregated) through 1 (fully integrated).
NOTES: NCHS is National Center for Health Statistics; metro is metropolitan.
Socioeconomic: The median percentage
commuting to another county for work
was 67% lower and percentage of
owner-occupied housing units was
almost 33% lower in large central
counties than in large fringe counties.
The median jobs-to-workers ratio is
considerably higher in large central
counties than in fringe counties. Despite
this, the median unemployment rate is
higher and the median household
income is lower in central counties,
though the central and fringe county
distributions overlap considerably.
Additionally, the median percentage of
families with income below the poverty
level was 58% higher in large central
counties compared with fringe counties.
Demographic: Large central counties
tend to be much more racially and
ethnically diverse than large fringe
counties, as shown by comparing the
percentage of the population that is
non-Hispanic white and the percentage
that is foreign-born. The isolation index
for all groups other than non-Hispanic
white persons (compared with
non-Hispanic white persons alone) is
substantially higher in large central
counties than in large fringe counties,
indicating that the probability that
someone who is not non-Hispanic white
will meet someone else who is
non-Hispanic white in their census tract
is higher in central counties than in
fringe counties (9,10).
A list of all counties in large metro
areas for the 2013 NCHS scheme is
shown in Table IV, which is organized

metro counties to the large central and
large fringe categories in the 2013 and
