Urban/Rural Classification at Census Tract Level

My agency's contact at FHWA says that the new UA delineations, and all the Urban-Rural determinations for Blocks, will be published in "August or September." (I’d wager on the over side -- not the under.)

There's not a Census designation of urban or rural tracts.  But it would be easy to summarize the block level numbers into tracts: X% of the population is urban, W% of the land area is urban, etc.

Cheers,

I'd suggest using the new version of Geocorr for that, except that it won't have U/R data until.... "August or September." HA!
