The Springfield Metropolitan Area is the region that is socio-economically tied to the city of Springfield, Massachusetts. The Office of Management and Budget defines the metropolitan statistical area (MSA) of Springfield as the region consisting of three counties in Western Massachusetts. As of the 2000 census, the MSA had a population of 680,014 (though a July 1, 2007 estimate placed the population at 682,657).[1] An alternative definition, using towns rather than counties as building blocks, is the Springfield NECTA, which more closely approximates the metropolitan area because of its use of geographically smaller building blocks. The NECTA consists of 48 additional cities/and towns surrounding the principal city of Springfield.
