Highway Urban Areas

Annual September Population Estimate

The Office of Financial Management (OFM) Forecasting Division produces annual population estimates for Highway Urban Areas (HUAs) as defined by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). HUAs include all areas defined as urbanized by the Census bureau but can and usually do include areas beyond the Census Bureau defined boundaries. For urban areas of 5,000 through 49,999 people, FHWA uses city limits or Census Designated Place boundaries, with some adjustments, as the minimum area.

Estimates may not be directly comparable from year to year due to boundary and/or methodology changes. For questions about historical special area estimates please contact Kyle Reese-Cassal at (360) 902-9815.
