New England MSAs are defined in terms of towns and cities. An area can qualify for recognition as an MSA if it: (1) includes a
city with a population of at least 50,000, or (2) has a Census Bureau-defined urbanized area population of 50,000 and a total
MSA population of 100,000 (75,000 in New England). A metropolitan area may have more than one city with a population of
50,000.
If the population of an MSA is more than 1 million, a separate component area called a Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area
(PMSA) may be defined. When a PMSA is defined, the name of the MSA becomes a Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area
(CMSA).
If you want more information about MSAs, write to the Office of Management and Budget, Washington DC, 20603.
MSA Code — The 4-digit code assigned by the Office of Management and Budget to the MSA or PMSA code.
Type — Indicates whether the code is an MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area), PMSA (Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area), or
CMSA (Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area).

Distance Calculation
Any point on the earth’s surface can be located by its latitude and longitude coordinates. Latitude is the angle above or below
the equator in degrees. The equator is zero degrees, the north pole is north 90 degrees latitude, and the south pole is south 90
degrees latitude. The continental United States falls between 25 and 50 degrees north.
Longitude is the angle east or west of the Greenwich meridian. The continental United States is between 70 and 125 degrees
west.
A PPROXIMATE S OLUTIONS
One degree of latitude is equal to 69.1 miles. One degree of longitude is equal to 69.1 miles at the equator. North or south of the
equator, 1 degree of longitude is a smaller distance. It’s reduced by the cosine of the latitude. Dividing the latitude number by
57.3 converts it to radians.
DistLat = 69.1 * (Lat2-Lat1)
DistLong = 69.1 * (Lg2-Lg1) * cos(Lat1 / 57.3)
Dist = (DistLat2 + DistLong2) 0.5

FONE*DATA
USER’S GUIDE
APPENDIX A
DISTANCE CALCULATION
If you don’t want to use the COS function, then a good approximate solution is:
DistLat = 69.1 * (Lat2-Lat1)
DistLg = 53 * (Lg2 - Lg1)
Dist = (DistLat2 + DistLong2) 0.5
E XACT S OLUTIONS
To calculate the exact distance between points requires spherical geometry.
The basic formula is:
D = 3959arccos[sin(Lat1)sin(Lat2)+
cos(Lat1)cos(Lat2)cos(Lg2-Lg1)]
The above formula has one major problem: most computer languages do not support the arccosine function. Therefore a
different form is necessary, one that uses the arctangent function that most languages embrace.
D = 3959atn [ (1-A2 ) 0.5 / A]
where A is equal to:
A = sin(Lat1)sin(Lat2)+
cos(Lat1)cos(Lat2)cos(Lg2-Lg1)
Most computer languages compute the sine and cosine function with the angle given in radians. To convert degrees to radians,
divide degrees by the constant 57.3 (180/pi).
In BASIC this would be programmed as follows:
C = 57.3
A = sin(Lat1/C)*sin(Lat2/C) + cos(Lat1/C)*
cos(Lat2/C)*cos(Lg2/C - Lg1/C)
D = 3959 * atn( SQR(1-A^2)/A)
Where:
D = distance in statue miles from the first to the second point.
C = degrees to radians constant 57.3.
Lat1 = latitude of the first point in degrees.
Lg1 = longitude of the first point in degrees.
Lat2 = latitude of the second point in degrees.
Lg2 = longitude of the second point in degrees.
NOTE: Dividing the latitude number by 57.3 converts it to radians.
Since all ZIP code points in the United States are north latitude and west longitude, there is no need to check the sines (positive
and negative) of the latitudes and longitudes.
Some programming languages, such as dBASE II/III, do not have the functions of the sine, cosine and arctangent. Also, the
formulas given are time-consuming to calculate. A simpler but less accurate method is given here:
D = 69.1 * SQR [(LAT2-LAT1)2 +0.6* (LG2-LG1)2]
Although this formula is not as accurate as the first great circle method, it will give good results for most applications.

APPENDIX A
DISTANCE CALCULATION
In Basic, it is written as follows:
D = 69.1 * SQR [(LAT2-LAT1)^2 +
.6*(LONG2-LONG1)^2]
In dBASE III it is written as follows:
D = 69.1 * SQRT [(LAT2-LAT1)^2 +
0.6 *(LONG2-LONG1)^2]
To make using the database easier, the latitudes and longitudes are given in the decimal format instead of the degree, minute
and second format. The latter would require the additional steps of converting seconds to fractions of a minute and then minutes
to a fraction of a degree.
B EARING F ORMULA
The bearing is the direction from the first point to the second point. It is expressed as an angle from north in degrees. Due north
is a bearing of zero degrees, east is a bearing of 90 degrees, south is 180, and west is 270.
The bearing from the first point to the second is calculated with:
sin(Lat1) * sin(Lg2-Lg1)
B = ArcTan ——————————————
sin(Lat2) * cos(Lat1) - cos(Lat2) *
sin(Lat1) * cos(Lg2-Lg1)
Since the ARCTAN function gives the angle in radians, it is necessary to convert B to degrees by multiplying by 57.3 (180/Pi).
To use this equation requires some special considerations. This example assumes that Lat1, Lat2, Lng1, Lng2 have been
converted to radians.
Use the following steps:
N = sin(Lat1)*sin(Lng1-Lng2)
D = sin(Lat2)*cos(Lat1) –
cos(Lat2)*sin(Lat1)*cos(Lng1-Lng2)
B = 57.3 * ARCTAN(N/D)
If (D > 0) then (B = 360+B)
If (D < 0) then (B = 180+B)
If (B < 0) then (B = 360 + B)
Where:
N is the Numerator.
D is the Denominator.
B is the Bearing.

DISTANCE CALCULATION
E XAMPLES
The following examples should give you a feel for the numbers. For these examples, we will use the points of Schenectady, NY
and Los Angeles, CA.
First Point is in Schenectady, NY, 12345
Lat1 = 42.8145
Lng1 = 73.9380
Second Point is in Los Angeles, CA, 90001
Lat2 = 34.0515
Lng2 = 118.2420
Example 1: Approximate Formula (1)
Lat Dist = 69.1 (Lat2 - Lat1) = 605.5
Lng Dist = 69.1 * ( Lng2 - Lng1 ) *
COS ( 42.8145/57.3 ) = 2245.8
Dist = 2326.0 miles
Example 2: Approximate Formula (2)
Lat Dist = 69.1 (Lat2 - Lat1) = 605.5
Lng Dist = 53 * ( Lng2 - Lng1 ) = 2348.1
Dist = 2424.9 miles
Example 3: Exact Solution Formula (3)
A1 = sin(Lat1/57.3) * sin( Lat2/57.3) = 0.3805
A2 = cos(Lat1/57.3) * cos(Lat2/57.3) *
cos(Lng2/57.3-Lng1/57.3)
A2 = 0.4350
A = A1 + A2 = 0.8155
Dist = 3959 * ATN[(1 - A2)0.5/A]
Dist = 2443.4 miles
Example 4: Bearing Formula (4)
N = sin(Lat1/57.3) * sin( Lng2/57.3 Lng1/57.3) = 0.4747
D1 = sin(Lat2/57.3) * cos(Lat1/57.3) = 0.4107
D2 = cos(Lat2/57.3) * sin(Lat1/57.3) * cos(Lng2/57.3 - Lng1/57.3)
D2 = 0.4029
B = 57.3 * ATN(N/(D1 - D2)) = -89.1 Degrees
Bearing = 360 + B = 360 - 89.1
Bearing = 270.9 degrees from North
