In December 2006 the U.S. Officeof Management and Budget (OMB) published an update to its list of Core Based Statistical Areas. Peabody, Massachusetts qualified as the new principal city of the "Essex County, MA Metropolitan Division." The new title assigned was "Peabody, MA Metropolitan Division" with a new FIPS code of 37764.
Accordingly, Moody's Economy.com created a new metropolitan division geography code, DMPEA, as the successor to DMESS.
This change was not immediately incorporated in the Fiserv Case-Shiller® "Raw" Indexes stored on DataBuffet.com. The situation has now been corrected, and applies to the following 13 concept codes.
If any of your baskets, spreadsheet Add-Ins, or other automatic retrievals use a mnemonic like HCSHP1TIQ.DMESS, you will need to change it to HCSHP1TIQ.DMPEA. Using the old geo code will elicit a "series does not exist" message.

Note: Moody's Economy.com geo codes for metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) have the form Maaa, the letter "M" followed by three letters. Codes for metropolitan divisions (MDs), which are constituents of certain large MSAs, have the form DMaaa, with the prefix "DM."
