INTRODUCTION

Data provided for all 34 urbanized areas in the United States with a population of 1,000,000 or more in any decennial census from 1950 to 1990.

An urbanized area is a densely populated area (built up area) with a population density of more than 1,000 per square mile with a population of more than 50,000. This definition is independent of corporate city or regional government boundaries. The United States Census Bureau uses a different definition for international urban areas.
