Where are we with Urbanized Areas?
Getting Closer1. 2010 Census Completed2. Criteria Finalized3. Census Bureau does it
72% households mailed back forms77% of 47 Million NRFU households visited

Urban Areas (2000)
Composed of CORE census block groups or blocks that have a population density of at least 1,000 people/square mile and the surrounding census blocks that have an overall density of at least 500 people/square mile.

Boundaries - the Important thing

(Census Defined) Urbanized Area (UZA) - Population + $$$
Adjusted Urbanized Area (AUZA) - Functional Class
Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA) - MPO Jurisdiction
Non-Attainment Area

PUMAs? -- What are they?
PUMAs are the zones used for PUMS data
Public Use Microdata Sample
PUMS data is based on individual census records and is available only at large geographic areas. Think of the PUMS dataset as the raw, disaggregate census sample data, at a large enough geographic level necessary to protect the confidentiality of the census respondent.

Standard Tabs
PUMS Records

Why are PUMAs Important?
Normal ACS Annual Data
● Annual Data
● 65K+
● Note the areas in gray
● We call this Swiss Cheese
NE Illinois (2008 pop estimate)
Chicago

Why are PUMAs Important?
NE Illinois (PUMAs)
PUMAs are a Tabulation Area for Annual ACS Data
● Represent 100K
● Complete Coverage
● Smaller than Counties
● NO Swiss Cheese
![Page 20: Urbanized Area Boundaries: A Transportation Perspective and Introduction (June 11, 2010)](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062423/568145d4550346895db2d94c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

How many PUMAs should this area have?
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/maps/puma5pct.htm
City of Chicago 2000 PUMAs
2,896,016 (2000 Pop)
Why are PUMAs Important?
- Defines areas for analysis - Tabulation Area for ACS
Who Defines Them? - The Community - Led by State Data Center
When are They Defined? - Summer 2011 - Criteria out Spring 2010???

Now, Let’s find out about Urban Areas
How will the Census Bureau be making our Urban, Urbanized
and Urban Cluster Areas?
Next up is Mike Ratcliffe
to tell us
