Do you mean urban clusters?

That seems to be what they're called in the census website table on the question. Under 30% UA districts...

MI 1 0.0%. Zilch.
KY 5 0.2%. Can anyone tell me where exactly these 1222 people live?
OK 2 0.7% Or these 5104?
KY 1 6.8%
KS 1 7.7%
MN 7 7.7%
MO 8 8.1%
IL 15 10.4%
NE 3 11.0%
OK 3 13.0%
MN 8 14.1%
WI 7 14.5%
MI 4 14.9%
PA 10 17.0%
MS 1 17.3%
NY 23 17.4%
VT AL 17.4%
AL 4 18.0%
OH 6 18.0%
ME 2 18.1%
VA 5 18.1%
AR 1 18.7%
AR 4 18.9%
IA 4 19.0%
PA 5 19.3%
NY 19 20.8%
NY 21 21.9%
TN 6 22.8%
VA 9 23.0%
MO 4 23.3%
MS 2 23.6%
OH 4 23.7%
MS 3 23.8%
WY AL 24.5%
WV 3 25.0%
MN 1 25.7%
MT AL 26.5%
LA 5 27.4%
TX 4 27.4%
WI 3 27.7%
IN 6 28.1%
AZ 1 29.6%

Probably in Catlettsburg or Cannonsburg, Boyd County, which is in the Huntington-Ashland, WV-KY-OH Urbanized Area.  Southern parts of Boyd County were added to the district in the 2010 redistricting.
Cannonsburg (and some immediate surrounds; 1222 is slightly more than the CDP's population) is correct. Catlettsburg city is in KY-4 (and has more than 1222 inhabitants.)

OK-02 encroaches on Tulsa.  A very small portion of the Tulsa Urbanized Area crosses into OK-02, probably near Owasso.
[/quote]near Owasso too is correct. (Note that Claremore and Verdigris are not considered part of the Tulsa Urbanized Area but instead form the Claremore Urban Cluster.)

You win.

...while further south round about Catoosa, UA and CD boundary appear to coincide.

-OK-2 (Contains some Tulsa suburbs in Rogers county, and a very small urbanized population in some tiny suburbs of Fort Smith, Arkansas, but these make up less than 10 percent of the district's population.)
Just reread and immediately doublechecked this. Yes, some of those 5000 people are outside Fort Smith rather than outside Owasso. Not going to bother finding the exact figures; they are probably available if you look really hard though.

Taking Cinyc and Hal Rogers' word for it that it didn't use to include part  of Boyd, indeed it didn't.

Anyways the Traverse City Urban Cluster is very close to the 50k cutoff line, and Marquette has I think a plenty urban feel for a place that size.

The Metro definitions, of course, tend to suck due to being overbroad (they are based on whole counties, after all). The Urbanized Area definitions, on the other hand, are quite restrictive. Anyways all these numbers are Census 2010 numbers.
