Do they assume you'll just commute to Stamford, or NYC?

Doubt it, the job market isn't terrible in NH/Hartford.

It's not one city though. Weird way to put it.

mkiv, technically Hartford-New Haven is one DMA "market area". There are many ways to define what a city is. A lot of people commute from Hartford to New Haven and vice versa, just like you would find, say, between Staten Island and the Bronx.

You mean MSA? New Haven is considered part of the NYC metro area (New Haven-Milford being a subset of that) and Hartford is its own: Connecticut census statistical areas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I get what they did, just seems odd as the other cities don't abide by that.

Not MSA. DMA is more commonly used in the business world. http://www.gfkmri.com/PDF/Market-by-...DMA%20List.pdf

I work in marketing, but I figured a marketing DMA wouldn't be used in something like this. Oh well.

I thought New Haven is its own metro?

It is. There are a lot of different definitions of cities and metro areas.
