ABOUT THE PROFILES
The Metropolitan Area Planning Council is the designated regional planning agency for
101 cities and towns in metropolitan Boston. The Council provides assistance to its
member communities in planning for economic development, demographics,
geographic information systems, transportation, affordable housing, groundwater
protection and open space.
The community profiles are updated on a regular basis through funding from the
Federal Transit Administration and local assessments on the member cities and towns
of MAPC. The responsibility for the information and opinions contained in this report
rests solely with the Metropolitan Area Planning Council.
