See the appendix on CENSUS DEFINITIONS.
Coded according to the 1990 Census. The major objective
of the Census Bureau in delineating urbanized areas is to
provide a better separation of urban and rural population
in the vicinity of large cities. An urbanized area
consists of a central city or cities, and surrounding
closely settled territory ("urban fringe"). Size of Place
codes 21 and 41 include areas that are in the "urban
fringe" but are not Census Places.
Note for Codes 50-53: in a few cases, Non-MSA PSUs (based
on the 1980 OMB SMSA definitions) contain areas which are
now part of a 1990 PMSA or MSA (based on the June 1990 OMB
definition). In these cases, the Size of Place Code for
any SSUs (segments) within such areas are coded in the
"40s" rather than in the "50s" as shown. This occurred in
El Dorado county CA (the major part of the El
Dorado/Alpine Co, CA PSU #82) which is now a part of the
Sacramento CA MSA, and also for one SSU (segment) in the
Gardner MA PSU (#64), which is now a part of the
Worchester MA MSA.
NOTE: Because the RDD telephone sample did not have PSU and
segment identification, segment level data, including this
variable,could not be provided.
