A layer delineating 2020 Urban Boundaries for transportation intended to be used for planning purposes.
<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>In 2020, the Census Bureau used the Census Block Group data to designate the urban boundaries by following the Census Bureau maintained road segments called TIGER. The Office of Transportation Planning, in cooperation with the regional planning agencies, adjusted the boundaries to follow the Road Inventory street segments, municipal boundaries, railroads, or water bodies. This polygon data layer represents the final version of the adjusted urban boundaries, which is used to determine the Road Inventory official roadway functional classification.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) types of urban areas. The census no longer distinguishes between types of urban areas, but FHWA still requires there to be a distinction.
Urban area - An area with a population between 5,000 and 50,000 or at least 2,000 housing units
Urbanized area - An area with a population of 50,000 or more
