I believe it's 40% commuters (one way) on a commune to commune level. Way more strict than US MSA definitions...

I'd like a standardized European method as well, but it should not be as strict as the French INSEE one.

I was very dissappointed when the LUZ definitions came out and I thought we were finally getting a unified method. Instead we got something that made Bielefeld bigger than Rotterdam...
