Abstract:
This dataset contains the Adjusted Urbanized Areas database that is a geographic database consisting of Adjusted Urbanized Areas in the State of Florida for 1993; wherein, the AUA contain the state-portion of adjusted CENSUS urban boundaries for urban areas with a 1990 CENSUS population greater than 50,000 people.
Purpose:
The data are created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data layer.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
An urbanized area (UA) consists of densely settled territory that contains 50,000 or more people. A UA may contain both place and nonplace territory. The U.S. Census Bureau delineates UAs to provide a better separation of urban and rural territory, population, and housing in the vicinity of large places. At least 35,000 people in a UA must live in an area that is not part of a military reservation.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
For the 1990 census, the U.S. Census Bureau assigned a four-digit UA code based on the MA (Metropolitan Area) codes.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html. These data are based on interpretation of available information and should not be construed as legally binding.

Process_Description:
This dataset was downloaded as a coverage by the GeoPlan Center from the FHWA Office of Intermodal and Statewide Programs webpage at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/hep10/data/. Data was projected to FGDL Albers HPGN, descript item was added based on NAME, lowercase character items within attribute table were upcased, and old internal coverage items were dropped. When received, data was in UTM projection, Datum: NAD83, Spheroid: GRS1980, Units: Meters.
Process_Date: 2002
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
GeoPlan, during the QA/QC process included the following aspects: 1.) Reprojected data to FGDL Albers HPGN (See "Map Projection Parameters" below) 2.) Extent set to the State of Florida 3.) Upcased all character records 4.) DESCRIPT item added based on NAME 5.) Dropped old internal coverage items: FLURBAN, FLURBAN_ID, FLUZA_, FLUZA_ID
