"Urbanized area" means a place and the adjacent densely populated territory that together have a minimum population of 50,000 people, as defined by the United States bureau of the census and as determined by the latest available decennial census. The data is provided to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The urbanized area is the regulated area for municipalities that are regulated under the MS4 program, including but not limited to cities, township, and villages."2020 Census Populations of 50K or more" and "Automatically Designated Areas" was provided by US EPA in July 2023 and combined with Michigan Open GIS Data (Minor Civil Divisions: Cities, Townships and Villages) using ESRI's ArcGIS Pro Software.
