a Estimates as of July 1 except 1980, 1990, and 2000, which
are as of April 1.
b New metropolitan area
definitions were published by the Office of Budget and Management (OMB) in
2003. These definitions were applied to population data by the Census Bureau
beginning with the data from the 2000 Census. A new term, core based
statistical areas (CBSAs), collectively refers to metropolitan and
micropolitan statistical areas. A metropolitan statistical area is defined as
having at least one urbanized area of 50,000 or more inhabitants. A
micropolitan statistical area is defined as having at least one urban cluster
of more than 10,000 but less than 50,000 inhabitants.
c As of April 1 of year
indicated. The Census Bureau only tabulates urban / rural numbers for the
decennial census years.
d Fiscal year ending September 30.
e The Census Bureau calculates square mileage comprising land
and water area for the decennial census years. Data for 1980 comprises land and inland
water. Data for 1990 comprises land,
Great Lakes, inland water, and coastal water.
Data for 2000 comprises land, Great Lakes, inland water, territorial
water, and coastal water.
f Sums of chained-dollar
estimates for individual industries do not add to national totals because the
chain-type indices used to derive them are based on weights of more than one
period. Values are calculated to 2005
