Description
Definition
This variable indicates the urbanized area of enumeration of the household. "Urbanized areas" are concentrations of at least 50,000 people consisting of a central city and the surrounding, closely-settled contiguous urban fringe. Urbanized areas have a population density of at least 1,000 persons per square mile, though small pockets of land within them (such as industrial parks or railroad yards) may be less densely settled.
