I sure have to spell out things sometimes. By "urban" in this context, I mean things that one typically finds in developed metropolitan areas of sizeable cities.

Cool link. For my zip 94618 the population of the 100-mile radius 10,516,300.

Anyway, this sort of reminds me of Department of Commerce Economic Areas(EA) except EAs are about commerce and trade

Kind of cool. It looks as though it only lists places in the US and doesn't cross the border to take Canadian populations into account. A couple places I have lived in the last decade.

Washburn, ME: These numbers would be quite different if the Canadian Population counted toward the totals.
5 miles: 1,706
10 miles: 15,308
25 miles: 38,516
50 miles: 69,779
100 miles: 95,771
250 Miles: 1,233,296

Scottville, MI:
5 Miles: 4,610
10 Miles: 24,512
25 Miles: 67,795
50 Miles: 254,039
100 Miles: 2,387,384 about 1/2 of this population is across Lake Michigan around Milwaukee, WI.
