I sent this note to Chad and it might be of interest to others ... ====> One way to depict urban blocks (and thus get to an urbanized area or urban cluster) in a shapefile with ArcView is reviewed here: http://proximityone.com/urbrural.htm and also here: http://proximityone.com/cen2000.htm#urbrural in a different context.

I converted the files using the 2000 Tiger conversion tool in the ArcToolbox in Arc8. When I do this, the resulting files do not contain the UA field. I placed a call to the Census Bureau's geography department today, and was told that they have already heard of this happening and they suspect that it is due to the converter. They were not able to offer any help, but told me to go back to the software vendor. I am now trying to find someone at ESRI who can answer some questions. Has anyone else found a way around this?

I have downloaded the data and converted it in Arc View 3.2a with a Tiger Reader from the ESRI web site. But the closest thing to an "Urban Area" for 2000 is the "Transportation Planning Area." Any help?
