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.

Subject: [CTPP] If you are interested in CB Urban Areas delineation
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.”
