Appendix Two. Customized matching differences, 1980 to 1990 


Notes:  Only those MSAs/CMSAs are shown in which the county geography for the 
custom metropolitan area coding differs in 1980 from 1990. Thus these matching notes 
indicate departures from the 1990 MSA/CMSA recodes, NOT departures from the actual 
1980 MSA/CMSA county geography.  To determine the counties included in a particular 
metropolitan area custom coding for 1980, first refer to the county listing for 1990 custom 
MSA county geography (in Appendix One), then consult these matching notes to see the 
differences between 1980 and 1990. Counties included in 1980 which are not included in 
1990 are listed in square brackets following a "+"; counties absent from 1980 which are 
present in 1990 are listed in square brackets following a "-". To help cross-referencing, 
MSAs/CMSAs for which notes are given are listed according to their sequence number in 
the 1990 county listing in Appendix One.
