2010 Urban Areas Reference Maps File Naming Convention
2010 Urban Areas Reference Maps File Naming Convention
The file names for the 2010 Census Urban Areas Reference Maps are composed as follows:
DC10<type><uuuuu>_<###>.pdf
where:
<type> = 2 character urban area type indicator
- 'UA' indicates Urbanized Area
- 'UC' indicates Urban Cluster
<uuuuu> = 5 digit UA or UC code
<###> = map sheet number
- '000' = Index sheet
- '001' – '999' = Map sheets
- Omission of the map sheet number indicates a bundled PDF (all map sheets for a given entity are included in a single PDF document).
Example file names:
DC10UC00388_001.pdf = Urban Cluster 00388 (Ada, OH), map sheet 1
DC10UA04843_000.pdf = Urbanized Area 04843 (Baltimore, MD), index sheet
DC10UA04843_004.pdf = Urbanized Area 04843 (Baltimore, MD), map sheet 4
DC10UA04843.pdf = Urbanized Area 04843 (Baltimore, MD), all map sheets in a single bundled PDF document
NOTE: For Puerto Rico only, when ‘SP’ is included as part of the filename (DC10UASP and DC10UCSP), it indicates the Spanish version of the map.
