2020 CENSUS URBANIZED AREAS<\/SPAN><\/P>

The Census Bureau\u2019s urban-rural classification is a delineation of geographic areas, identifying both individual urban areas and the rural area of the nation.<\/SPAN><\/P>

The Census Bureau\u2019s urban areas represent densely developed territory, and encompass residential, commercial, and other non-residential urban land uses.<\/SPAN><\/P>

The Census Bureau delineates urban areas after each decennial census by applying specified criteria to decennial census and other data.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Rural encompasses all population, housing, and territory not included within an urban area.<\/SPAN><\/P>

For the 2020 Census, an urban area will comprise a densely settled core of census blocks that meet minimum housing unit density and/or population density requirements.<\/SPAN><\/P>

This includes adjacent territory containing non-residential urban land uses.<\/SPAN><\/P>

To qualify as an urban area, the territory identified according to criteria must encompass at least 2,000 housing units or have a population of at least 5,000.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "Census Bureau's Urban Classification Areas", "title": "2020 Census Urban Area", "tags": [ "Urban", "Area", "Census", "2020" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 150000000, "maxScale": 5000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "©2025 U.S. Census Department of Housing and Urban Development\n©2025 St. Tammany Parish Government - GIS Division of the Department of Technology\n\nLast Updated: ", "licenseInfo": "
