Total Total

Region A X Y (AXY) Z (AXYZ)

Northeast 14 4 2 20 2 22

Midwest 12 12 4 28 4 32

South 14 18 6 38 6 44

West 22 8 4 34 4 38

Total 62 42 16 120 16 136

Note 1: The A PSUs are self-representing. The X PSUs are all other metropolitan CBSAs, and the Y PSUs are micropolitan CBSAs. Each A, X, and Y PSU is one or more CBSA(s) with preliminary boundaries defined by the BOC. The non-CBSA area of the U.S. is divided into Z PSUs by the BLS. Each Z PSU consists of adjacent counties in the non-CBSA area.

Note 2: The number of halfsample equivalents for X, Y, and Z size classes is the same as the number of PSUs in those classes.
