Census 2010 shows that America's urban population increased by 12.1 percent from 2000 to 2010, compared to the national overall growth rate of 9.7 percent. Urban areas now account for 80.7 percent of the U.S. population, compared to 79.0 percent in 2000.

Census 2000 urban and rural population by congressional districts are shown in the interactive ranking table in this section. Census 2010 urban/rural population data for 112th congressional districts can be tabulated at any time as the Census 2010 urban/rural census block data are available now. Census 2010 urban/rural population data for newly redrawn 113th congressional districts are scheduled to be released in early 2013.

Urban-Rural Classifications
To qualify as an urban area, the territory identified according to criteria must encompass at least 2,500 people, at least 1,500 of which reside outside institutional group quarters. The Census Bureau identifies two types of urban areas:
  • Urbanized Areas (UAs) of 50,000 or more people
  • Urban Clusters (UCs) of at least 2,500 and less than 50,000 people

Rural includes all population, housing, and territory not included within an urban area.

Additional Information
Proximity develops geographic-demographic-economic data and analytical tools and helps organizations knit together and use diverse data in a decision-making and analytical framework. We develop custom demographic/economic estimates and projections, develop geographic and geocoded address files, and assist with impact and geospatial analyses. Wide-ranging organizations use our tools (software, data, methodologies) to analyze their own data integrated with other data.
