Happy New Year, everyone!
I am looking for percent rural and urban population and land area by counties for 2020 census. I am unable to locate this file. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Indraneel
Even though it hasn't been updated since 2013, I really like the CDC's urban-rural classification system for counties:www.cdc.gov/.../urban_rural.htm
One of the "Urban and Rural" deliverables is the soon(?) upcoming release of the Census Blocks file, UR version, thru Census TIGER. This should be near-identical to the Census Blocks file, PL version,…
Jinx, Todd Graham! I owe you a Coke.
The only county data on rural status I know is USDA typology (though not-rural is not the same as urban)
https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/rural-economy-population/rural-classifications/https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/rural-urban-continuum-codes/
there’s also Rural Urban Continuum codes above for counties which might help with the Urban part ( and also make some distinctions within rural counties)

Ooh, I like it! And it looks like they will be updating it this year.
