I was thinking if there is a way to deliniate how percentage-wise an area is based on density. Since some areas the urban core could be larger or smaller than the central city.

You could in theory compare the UA to the MSA or CSA
As an example:
Philadelphia
City 1,548,000 to CSA 6,385,000 or 24.2%
UA (Urban Area) 5,325,00 to CSA 6,385,000 or 83.4%
Houston
City 2,243,000 to CSA 5,968,500 or 37.6%
UA 3,822,500 to CSA 5,968,500 or 64.0%
Omaha
(2008 Est.)
City 438,646 51.6% of Metro
Metro 849,517
