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 do not add to national totals because the chain-type
indices used to derive them are based on weights of more than one
period.
g Converted to constant 2004 dollars using
the CPI-U-RS price index.
