The interactive map and tables below displays data for Alabama's 67 counties, treated as service areas. A Core-Based Statistical Area (CBSA) is a US geographic area defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) consisting of one or more contiguous counties. Specifically, a CBSA consists of counties anchored by an urban center of at least 10,000 people plus adjacent counties that are socioeconomically tied to the urban center by commuting. So the counties are classified in the table as belonging to a CBSA or rural otherwise. CBSAs are further classified according to the US Census Bureau definitions of urban cluster and urbanized area. Micropolitan statistical areas are based on urban clusters of at least 10,000 and fewer than 50,000 people. Metropolitan statistical areas are based on urbanized areas of at least 50,000 people.
The map below shows Alabama's counties as a base layer. Click on a county for summary information. The PCPs can be added as a point layer using the layer control.
In the tables below, the field Communities refers to the number of communities in the area with PCPs. Click on rows to see the corresponding counties highlighted in the map above. Click on a selected row again to de-select and remove the highlighting.
