List of United States urban areas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Urban areas in the United States are defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as contiguous census block groups with a population density of at least 1,000 per square mile (about 400 per square km). Urban areas are delineated without regard to political boundaries. Urban areas with a population of at least 50,000 serve as the core of a metropolitan statistical area.
The following is a list of urbanized areas in the United States with at least 100,000 in population.
