  Description:
    Abstract: This is a polygon layer of the U.S. urbanized areas that fall within the US basemap data layer and border the Long Island Sound study area.
    Purpose: The data provide users with information about the locations, names, urban and FIPS Codes, and size of urban areas primarily for the Long Island Sound project area.
    Supplemental_Information: The origins of this data layer is the Bureau of the Census Urbanized Area Boundaries database.  It is a geographic database of boundaries for urban areas with a population greater than 50,000.  The database includes boundaries for urban areas in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.  The data provide users with information about the locations, names, urban, census and FIPS Codes, and size of urban areas primarily for national planning applications.
