Description:

United States Census Urbanized Areas is a polygon theme representing the Census 2000 Urbanized Areas (UA) and Urban Clusters (UC).

A UC consists of contiguous, densely settled census BGs and census blocks that meet minimum population density requirements, along with adjacent densely settled census blocks that together encompass a population of at least 2,500 people, but fewer than 50,000 people. The dataset covers the 50 States plus the District of Columbia within United States.
