«1) Urban
Core = pixels having 75 % to 100 % ISA (these are the highest in a city polygon); 2) Urban1
= pixels having ISA between 75 % and 50 % (75 % > ISA ≥ 50 %); 3) Urban2
= pixels having between 50 % and 25 % ISA (50 % > ISA ≥ 25 %)-- this is the last urban zone and its
outer boundary identifies the 25 % threshold; 4) Suburban
= pixels located in a buffer zone 0 — 5 km adjacent to and outside the 25 % ISA contour (pixels have less than 25 % ISA); and 5) Rural (or non-urban)
= pixels located in a 5 kmwide ring located between 45 and 50 km away from the 25 % ISA contour and having less than 5 % ISA.»
