2013 NECTAs vs. 2010 NECTAs
editThe 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)

| == Stub-Class Rationale == This article has been assigned stub-class as it follows standard stub templates. The lead is well developed, but otherwise consists only of the list. Also lacks referencing and images. Codharris (talk) 13:15, 8 March 2008 (UTC) |

Gap in graphic
editThere 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
editIn 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)
- I don't think it's fair to speak of NECTAs in the past tense just yet. They are in the process of being replaced, but most publicly-available data and maps still use them (and will for several years, as far as I can tell.) I'm not sure NECTAs will be fully past-tense until the release of the 2030 Census. - Dπ (talk) 14:26, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
