The changing profile of a city in the Unites States is apparent in the shifting definitions used by the United
States Bureau of the Census. In 1870 the census officially distinguished the nation's “urban” from its “rural”
population for the first time. “Urban population” was defined as persons living in towns of 8,000 inhabitants or
more. But after 1900 it meant persons living in incorporated places having 2,500 or more inhabitants.

Then, in 1950 the Census Bureau radically changed its definition of “urban” to take account of the new
vagueness of city boundaries. In addition to persons living in incorporated units of 2,500 or more, the census now
included those who lived in unincorporated units of that size, and also all persons living in the densely settled
urban fringe, including both incorporated and unincorporated areas located around cities of 50,000 inhabitants or
more. Each such unit, conceived as an integrated economic and social unit with a large population nucleus, was
named a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA).

Each SMSA would contain at least (a) one central city with 50,000 inhabitants or more or (b) two cities
having shared boundaries and constituting, for general economic and social purposes, a single community with a
combined population of at least 50,000, the smaller of which must have a population of at least 15,000. Such an
area included the county in which the central city is located, and adjacent counties that are found to be metropolitan
in character and economically and socially integrated with the county of the central city. By 1970, about two-thirds
of the population of the United States was living in these urbanized areas, and of that figure more than half were
living outside the central cities.

While the Census Bureau and the United States government used the term SMSA (by 1969 there were 233
of them), social scientists were also using new terms to describe the elusive, vaguely defined areas reaching out
from what used to be simple “towns” and “cities”. A host of terms came into use: “metropolitan regions,”
“polynucleated population groups,” “conurbations,” “metropolitan clusters,” “megalopolises,” and so on.

A. The changing definition of an urban area

B. How the United States Census Bureau conducts a census

D. How cities in the United States began and developed

night and conserve precious food reserves. One way to do this is to find a sheltered roost. Solitary roosters shelter
indense vegetation or enter a cavity - horned larks dig holes in the ground and ptarmigan burrow into snow banks -
but the effect of sheltering is magnified by several birds huddling together in the roosts, as wrens, swifts, brown
creepers, bluebirds and anis do. Body contact reduces the surface area exposed to the cold air, so the birds keep
each other warm. Two kinglets huddling together were found to reduce their heat losses by a quarter, and three
together saved a third of their heat.

The second possible benefit of communal roosts is that they act as "information centers." During the day,
parties of birds will have spread out to forageover a very large area. When they return in the evening some will
have fed well, but others may have found little to eat. Some investigators have observed that when the birds set out
again next morning, those birds that did not feed well on the previous day appear to follow those that did. The
behavior of common and lesser kestrels may illustrate different feeding behaviors of similar birds with different
roosting habits. The common kestrel hunts vertebrate animals in a small, familiar hunting ground, whereas the very
similar lesser kestrel feeds on insects over a large area. The common kestrel roosts and hunts alone, but the lesser
kestrel roosts and hunts in flocks, possibly so one bird can learn from others where to find insect swarms.

Finally, there is safety in numbers at communal roosts since there will always be a few birds awake at any
given moment to give the alarm. But this increased protection is partially counteractedby the fact that mass roosts
attract predators and are especially vulnerable if they are on the ground. Even those in trees can be attacked by
birds of prey. The birds on the edge are at greatest risk since predators find it easier to catch small birds perching at
the margins of the roost.
