They're the regions where you can get detailed maps.
No significance to them other than the counties are in the same geographic area.

They may correspond with voting districts, but all that I conclude from your link is that they are arbitrary groupings to break down the maps.

www.census.gov
You can go there and poke around per state and it will show you voting districts, population statistics, demographics, etc.

thanks MJ - have that one too... pretty handy.
just wondering if there's a proper way to group the regions now. at least we have the individual counties.

Highway districts are going to be divided up according to logical divisions on where transportation garages, repair facilities and road usage dictate they should be. Educational districts are going to divided up based on enrollement, school locations and such. The two have very little to do with the other. Voting/congressional districts are going to be a whole other type of division.
I imagine it's the same in Manitoba, no?...transportation, education, voting districts all have different boundaries.

well either way i'm compiling a list of all the countys and the places in the countys for our ACT program (just a copy a paste...bunchatimesanyway...into excel).
just wanted to use something as a reference - we have texas divided into three parts, so those bigger regions might not even matter. i'll just end up making my own i think...
hmmm. decisions, les decisions.

What is it you're trying to compile with this information? Just charting where the program is being used? Then by state would work fine.

no we're dividing up sales regions in texas.
we want to know that if x city comes up, it's in ted's area. the census gives me the pop'l numbers and some other things i need.
by having the county in the client list, we don't have to stop and think about where it is. we'll know right away.
personally i'd just like to use the picture i drew a couple of lines through  not exactly good for databases though.

North Texas: Ft. Worth , Dallas to the LA border to the Oklahoma Border.
West: Draw a line from the chimney down to about San Antonio and go left.
Central: Between Dallas and Austin and East of the West Texas line
South: Everything South/East of Austin
