Spokane's Urban Area Boundaries Change Due To Census Results

The U.S. Census Bureau yesterday released Urban Area (UA) boundary lists from the 2010 Census.

In Spokane County, the newly released boundaries and data show some changes, although nothing unexpected. Spokane's UA has grown larger, includes areas that were once part of a separate 'Urban Cluster,' and it no longer crosses into Idaho.

No idea what I'm talking about? It really is interesting stuff, and it's explained better here. Plus you can look at a map of the newly defined Urban Areas.
