No other report series contain data on UAs, although all contain summaries for urban and rural population and housing data. However, the following individual nationwide reports, sometimes composed of multiple volumes, are devoted to UAs; each also contains the two-page UA summary map.

CP-1-1C General Population Characteristics for Urbanized Areas (100-percent data)
CP-2-1C Social and Economic Characteristics for Urbanized Areas (mostly sample subjects)
CH-1-1C General Housing Characteristics for Urbanized Areas (100-percent data)
CH-2-1C Detailed Housing Characteristics for Urbanized Areas (generally sample subjects)

For the 1990 UA program, the Census Bureau produced a two-volume supplementary report, CPH-S-1-2, Urbanized Areas of the United States and Puerto Rico, containing UA tables and maps that appear in the separate State reports of the CPH-2 series.[1]

Computer Tape Files and CD-ROMs

The Census Bureau’s Summary Tape Files (STFs) and other machine-readable data products provide statistics with greater subject-matter detail than is shown in the printed reports. Each STF presents a particular set of data tables for specific types of geographic entities, with further subdivision into three or more file types (indicated by a letter suffix). The following STFs provide data for UAs and for urban and rural categories:

STF 1B 100-percent data for the full geographic hierarchy to block level
STF 1C 100-percent data for UAs, urban and rural (summaries by State)
STF 2C 100-percent data for UAs, urban and rural (summaries by State)
STF 3A Sample data for UAs, urban and rural
STF 3C Sample data for UAs
STF 4B Sample data for urban and rural (summaries by State)
STF 4C Sample data for UAs, urban and rural (summaries by State)

The STFs 1B, 1C, 3A, and 3C also are available in compact disc—read-only memory (CD-ROM) format.
