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 |
|---|---|---|---|
real_gdp_growth_10yr | Real GDP growth, 2014-2024 (%) | percent change in real GDP, 2014 to 2024 (member counties' real GDP in chained 2017 dollars summed (BEA CAGDP9); no value unless every member county is published at both years) | Not assembled from counties: a metro has a value only where one is stored for the metro itself |
real_gdp_cagr_10yr | Real GDP annual growth rate, 2014-2024 (%/yr) | percent per year: compound annual growth rate of real GDP, 2014 to 2024 (member counties' real GDP in chained 2017 dollars summed (BEA CAGDP9); no value unless every member county is published at both years) | Not assembled from counties: a metro has a value only where one is stored for the metro itself |
Known gaps and caveats
- An area has a value only when every member county is published at both years.
- Chained dollars are not strictly additive, so a metro sum approximates what BEA would publish for it.
