Up until the 1950s they made distinction between urban and rural but they didnt have anything for suburbs. As that the housing act was passed in the 40s thereby starting subruban boom, census realized that they weren't counting something important...like the suburbs. so, they changed like a thousand mufucking times from counties...to metro areas....

These are important because they show how our government is trying to reshape stats measures to analyze urban changes.

We have 9 cities over 1 million.
