Motivation
[edit]I’m adding items about each of the urban area of the United States (Q5951278) in the United States. The U.S. Census Bureau has assigned a unique urban area census code (Q125694592) (UACE) to each urban area. UACEs are used by not only the Census Bureau in its publications but also by the U.S. Department of Transportation and possibly other entities. Unfortunately, data.census.gov doesn’t seem to have profile pages for UAs as they do for other geographies, so instead I’ve linked to Census Reporter (Q125694752). – Minh Nguyễn 💬 18:53, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
