Summary

This polygon shapefile represents adjusted urban area boundaries for California derived from the 2010 Census urban area boundaries, the preceding 2000 Caltrans urban area boundaries, and approved district and headquarters urban area adjustments. The three urban area boundaries were merged and smoothed to create the 170 adjusted urban area boundaries for California. This layer is part of a collection of GIS data created by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans).
