Differences in residential housing pattern index scores for 2000 were very small or nonexistent when calculated for metropolitan areas defined in 2003 and for those calculated using 1999 definitions. Index scores were considerably lower in the newly defined micropolitan areas than for all metropolitan areas. These patterns gene rally held when observing housing pattern scores for different racial and ethni c groups and when examining the largest metropolitan and micropolitan areas. In short, the effects of using the new metropolitan area definitions on indexes of residential housing patterns are rather minimal for metropolitan areas. However, caution is warranted when comparing housing pattern indexes for metropolitan areas defined in 1999 to micropolitan areas defined in 2003.
