There are several products available to assist data users in locating Urbanized Area and Urban Cluster boundaries. The Census Bureau will be glad to answer questions about the products listed below. However, the Census Bureau does not have the resources to perform research to determine whether or not a locality or specific address is inside or outside an urbanized area or urban cluster.

• UA Census 2000 TIGER/Line Products
  These files are available for downloading from the Census Bureau's TIGER Products Web page.

• American FactFinder online mapping and data dissemination tool.
  This application shows the uncorrected UA and UC boundaries as reported in the May 1, 2002 Federal Register notice, and do not reflect those that were reported in the August 23, 2002 or November 20, 2002 Federal Register notices. Data are available for the uncorrected Urbanized Areas and Urban Clusters in Census 2000 Summary File 3 and in the Final National Census 2000 SF1. Use the Reference Maps feature to display the boundaries for these uncorrected entities.

• Urban Area Maps (Census 2000)
  These maps illustrate the uncorrected boundaries and extent of the Census 2000 UAs and UCs. These maps are available in PDF format for viewing and downloading from the Census Bureau's Map Products Web page. These maps represent the UAs and UCs as reported in the May 1, 2002 Federal Register and do not reflect the corrections that were reported in the August 23, 2002 or November 20, 2002 Federal Register notices. (The Census Bureau will produce corrected maps for affected urban areas at a later date.) Paper copies of these maps are available for purchase from the Census Bureau's Customer Service Center (301-763-4636).
