There are 2 different things:
1. One is GEOGRAPHY: The list of Urban Areas, including Urbanized Areas (over 50,000 population) is a list of Place names and a population count. In the Fall 2012, the TIGER file will have a boundaries of those areas.
2. One is TABULATION: Urban/Rural update is probably a TABULATION of 2010 Census results.

Subject: [CTPP] RE: If you are interested in CB Urban Areas delineation
Hello:
The release date of early 2012 for the delineation of rural urban areas is a signficiantly different from the date that I was told in June, 2011.
Perhaps someone can comment. Has the date changed or is Urban area delineation different from “Urban/Rural Update”?
Let me explain:
In June, 2012, I spoke to the general information line (1-800-932-8282) at the Census Bureau about the scheduled release of the urban - rural data set for the 2010 Census.
The then project release date was shown on the is October of 2012 as “Urban/Rural Update” found at this location:
http://www.census.gov/population/www/cen2010/glance/
There was no anticipated change to the schedule at that time.
The schedule as predicated on the attached sheet was being followed. According to the Census Bureau staff, there was no anticipated reason for the schedule to change at this time.
Please advise if the timeline has changed or if Urban area delineation is not the Urban/rural update?

Since some of you have asked me individually, here is a post to “everyone”:
Mike Ratcliffe from the Census Bureau recently told us:
“The CB’s Statistical Areas Committee met in June and approved our final criteria. The Federal Register notice has been working its way through all the required reviews at the agency and department level. We are anticipating publication in September.
Meanwhile, urban area delineation based on these criteria is underway. We are on track for an announcement of urbanized areas and urban clusters in early 2012.”
