The population figures for the urbanized areas are nice, but is there anywhere we can see or get our hands on the maps of the new/changed urban boundaries?

Elaine:
Thanks for posting the announcement! Our MPO staff have been anticipating this data for months.
Two questions, perhaps you or Census Bureau Geog Division could answer:
1. Will our new 1 percent and 5 percent PUMAs be on these new TIGER files?
2. Other than the USDOT, what federal agencies use the urbanized area data, and how?
Thanks,
Chuck Purvis, MTC
Census 2000 UA TIGER/Line files should be available for download from the Census Bureau's TIGER/Line web page this week, but may not be available on Wednesday.

by now the world is a buzz looking at the federal register notice
listing the urbanized areas. thanks to nandu srinivasan for passing
along the pdf file. Chuck Purvis has also posted the PDF on his
agencies ftp site at
ftp://ftp.abag.ca.gov/pub/mtc/census2000/urbanized/
if you want an html version it can be found at
http://www.nara.gov/fedreg/ (then click on "today's table of contents"
and look under census bureau) the site is extremely busy so you may have
to try a few times.
What is posted so far are whole urbanized areas. bob lamacchia of the
census bureau tells me they "will" be posting the numbers for the
(state) parts of urbanized areas on their web site at
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/ua/ua_2k.html
they are getting the website together and expect to have it up very
soon.
