The database includes boundaries for urban areas in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Purpose: 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. Supplemental_Information: Urbanized areas is an ESRI shapefile with polygon features. This is a subset of the original dataset. It has been clipped to the extent of the Gulf of Maine surficial sediment GIS project extent.
