List of United States urban areas

Urban areas in the United States are defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as contiguous census block groups with a population density of at least Pop density mi2 to km2|1000 with any census block groups around this core having a density of at least Pop density mi2 to km2|500. Urban areas are delineated without regard to political boundaries. The census has two distinct categories of urban areas. "Urbanized Areas" have populations of greater than 50,000, while "Urban Clusters" have populations of less than 50,000. An urbanized area serves as the core of a metropolitan statistical area, while an urban cluster serves as the core of a micropolitan statistical area.

The following is a list of urbanized areas and urban clusters in the United States with at least 40,000 in population.
