All,
Please note than when population growth and redistribution results in large
"urban agglomerations" of continuously developed territory encompassing
urban areas that were defined as separate urbanized areas (50,00 or more
population) for the Census 2000, the Census Bureau plans on implementing
"split" criteria guided by the location of the Census 2000 boundaries.
These "splitting" criteria are designed to ensure, to the greatest extent
possible, that urbanized areas defined for the Census 2000 continue to be
identified as separate urbanized areas for the 2010 Census, but only if
these urbanized areas continue to qualify as urbanized under the 2010 urban
area delineation criteria.
Also, the final 2010 Census urban area delineation criteria are currently
in review by the legal office of the US Department of Commerce and are
expected to be published in the Federal Register soon (September).
Many thanks,
Christopher J. Henrie

The previous email got sent while I was still typing it. Sorry. Let me
try again.
Frank--I think it is all our understanding as well that there will be
NO rejoining. Hopefully someone from Census will weigh in on this.
The question we have in KC is what does this do to
areas that were
divided
into two urbanized areas in 2000 but had been part of
one urbanized area
prior to that. The new small airports and impermeable surface criteria
would now allow the two areas to be rejoined (we think, anyway), and this
seemed to be the favored option under the initially released criteria.
Our understanding is that under the revised criteria after public
comment,
they would remain separated.
Is our understanding correct?

Yes, as I understand it, the recommendation to include impermeable
surfaces and also the smaller airports were part of the final criteria
which were recommended and approved.
I hope Mike Ratcliffe corrects me if I am wrong!

I realize that the specific criteria will be published in the FR.
However, do we know whether any non-population-density criteria were
included in the final criteria? Other than the airports that were used
the
last time around.

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."
