TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented suggested matches for the geographical coding (geocoding) of metropolitan areas in the 1970 1980 and 1990 Censuses, which aimed to maximize consistency over time for metropolitan areas.
Abstract: This paper presents suggested matches for the geographical coding (geocoding) of metropolitan areas in the 1970 1980 and 1990 Censuses. The Census Bureau used different definitions and taxonomies to describe the geography of metropolitan areas in these three Census years. As a result the geographical areas referred to by the standard Census Bureau definitions differ among the three Census data sets. The geographic matching scheme explained in this paper attempts to maximize consistency over time for metropolitan areas in the U.S. (EXCERPT)
