2013 NECTAs vs. 2010 NECTAs
The 2013 listing of NECTAs has several significant differences (in name at least) from the list as of 2010. The table at the start of the article lists 2010 populations, and it seems problematic to try to update it to the 2013 delineations. I'm not satisfied with the changes I've made in the section headings to try to highlight the differences, so any improvements that others can think of are welcome. --Ken Gallager (talk) 18:55, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Gap in graphic
There looks to be a small gap between areas 9, 32, and 34 on the NECTA divisions map, and I can't seem to find what that gap corresponds to. GraniteSlab (talk) 00:29, 3 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Based on the boundary geometry, the gap is the town of Newmarket, New Hampshire. However, I notice from looking at the Census Bureau's TIGERweb page that the NECTAs as of the 2020 census are quite different from the map in the article, which is from 2006. Anybody want to create an updated map? Ken Gallager (talk) 12:50, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Discontinuation of NECTAs
In researching an answer to the previous question, I came across information that seems to indicate that the NECTAs are being discontinued. See "2022 Geography Changes" on the Census website. If anyone has access to a more direct statement that the NECTAs have been discontinued, please add that to the article. Ken Gallager (talk) 13:01, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
