Bureau of the Census

Qualifying Urban Areas for Census 2000

 

 

This is a list of urbanized area that qualified based on the results of Census 2000.  The Bureau of the Census determined these urbanized

areas using the urban area criteria published in the Federal Register

on March 15, 2002.

·         An urbanized area consists of densely settled territory that

contains 50,000 or more people.  Densely settled territory includes an urban core with a density of at least 1,500 persons per square mile.  Adjacent territory to this core must have a density of at least 500 persons per square mile. Note that these definitions are not the same as a metropolitan area that are based on county geographic boundaries (towns in New England).

·         An urban cluster consists of densely settled territory that

contains at least 2,500 people, but fewer than 50,000 people.

 

Georgia Areas are in Bold.
