       Coded according to the 1990 Census.  The major objective
       of the Census Bureau in delineating urbanized areas is to
       provide a better separation of urban and rural population
       in the vicinity of large cities.  An urbanized area
       consists of a central city or cities, and surrounding
       closely settled territory ("urban fringe").  Size of Place
       codes 21 and 41 include areas that are in the "urban
       fringe" but are not Census Places.
       Note for Codes 50-53:  in a few cases, Non-MSA PSUs (based
       on the 1980 OMB SMSA definitions) contain areas which are
       now part of a 1990 PMSA or MSA (based on the June 1990 OMB
       definition).  In these cases, the Size of Place Code for
       any SSUs (segments) within such areas are coded in the
       "40s" rather than in the "50s" as shown.  This occurred in
       El Dorado county CA (the major part of the El
       Dorado/Alpine Co, CA PSU #82) which is now a part of the
       Sacramento CA MSA, and also for one SSU (segment) in the
       Gardner MA PSU (#64), which is now a part of the
       Worchester MA MSA.
       NOTE: Because the RDD telephone sample did not have PSU and
       segment identification, segment level data, including this
       variable,could not be provided.
