settlement patterns may exist. For example, a community may fit a strictly statistical definition of an urban area, but may not be commonly thought of as "urban" because it has a smaller population, or functions socially and economically as a suburb of another urban area rather than as a self-contained urban entity, or is geographically remote from other urban communities. Accordingly, the new definition set out three distinct types of population centres: small (population 1,000 to 29,999), medium (population 30,000 to 99,999) and large (population 100,000 or greater).<sup id="cite_ref-popcentre_69-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-popcentre-69"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>66<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Despite the change in

The term <i>urbanized area</i> denoted an urban area of 50,000 or more people. Urban areas under 50,000 people were called <i>urban clusters</i>. Urbanized areas were first delineated in the United States in the 1950 census, while urban clusters were added in the 2000 census. The distinction between urbanized areas and urban clusters was removed for the 2020 census.<sup id="cite_ref-US_2020_criteria_71-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-US_2020_criteria-71"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>68<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Urban areas consist of a densely-settled urban core, plus surrounding developed areas that meet certain density criteria.
