The following series of publications contain data for UAs and for summary geographic areas such as urban and rural:
| CPH-1 | Summary Population and Housing Characteristics |
| CPH-2 | Population and Housing Unit Counts |
| CPH-5 | Summary Social, Economic, and Housing Characteristics |
| CP-1 | General Population Characteristics |
| CP-2 | Social and Economic Characteristics |
| CH-1 | General Housing Characteristics |
| CH-2 | Detailed Housing Characteristics |
The CPH-2 series, which consists of separate reports for each State or statistically equivalent entity, provides urban and rural information and data for all UAs along with their component places and county subdivisions. Each report contains one or more page-size maps to show the extent of each UA located entirely or partially in that State. These individual area UA Outline Maps show (1) the UA boundaries; (2) the boundaries and names of States, counties, county subdivisions (MCDs, CCDs, and other entities), and places; and (3) selected base map features such as major water bodies. The map scale is four miles to the inch.
All report series listed above include a summary report for the entire Nation; for example, CPH-1-1, Summary Population and Housing Characteristics/United States. These initial reports contain many tables that present data by UA, central place or places, and urban fringe; the following tabular format is used:
| All Persons | Land Area (sq. mi.) | Persons (per sq. mi.) | |
| Albany, GA | 87,223 | 71.4 | 1221.6 |
| In central place | 78,122 | 55.5 | 1407.6 |
| Albany City, GA | 78,122 | 55.5 | 1407.6 |
| Urban fringe | 9,101 | 15.9 | 572.4 |
Where UAs extend across State boundaries, there are data summaries both for the State parts and for the whole UA. Each United States summary report contains a two-page map, “Urbanized Areas of the United States: 1990,” which shows the names and locations of all UAs nationwide.
