Measures
The key is the measure's identifier in Cadastre. A measure stored for the metro itself is read as stored; Rule from counties is how a metro is assembled from its counties where it is not (see Methodology).
| Key | Label | Unit | Rule from counties |
|---|---|---|---|
gdp_total | Total GDP | thousands of dollars | sum over member counties |
gdp_manufacturing | Manufacturing GDP | thousands of dollars | sum over member counties |
manufacturing_gdp_share | Manufacturing share of GDP | percent of GDP | Not assembled from counties: a metro has a value only where one is stored for the metro itself |
Known gaps and caveats
- BEA publishes most Virginia independent cities only combined with a neighbouring county, and Kalawao with Maui; those combinations are mapped to their counties. A metro is left without a value where a combined area reaches beyond it.
