Definition

For coverage purposes, metro Boston is Boston, MA together with every incorporated community within 99 miles that is closer to Boston than to any other metro anchor — 40 communities and about 2,832,221 people beyond the core city. Communities are assigned to their nearest anchor, so the boundaries follow travel distance rather than county lines.

Geography

The anchor sits at 42.3601°, -71.0589°. Coverage extends in 7 compass directions from it, reaching 99 miles at its furthest. The largest surrounding community is Worcester, MA — 182,544 people, 38.6 miles west.

Climate

Between October and April the Boston area averages an overnight low of 32.3°F and reaches 1.8°F at its coldest, with 180 days below 45°F — about 5.9 months. A cat’s thermoneutral zone starts around 86°F against a typical indoor 64–72°F, so those are the months an indoor cat here is actively hunting for a heat source.
