Actually the law is not quite as I stated but the effect is the same. No building in D.C can be built higher that the Washington Monument but the law apparently referred to the Capitol and also the width of the streets.

If anyone is interested:

I do not know what <200,000, IIRC> means.

I meant: if I recall correctly, the threshold for urban was a population of 200,000 but it might have been only 100,000.

But since you asked, I looked up the population of Arlington and since it's around 200,000, the threshold must have been 100,000. Guess I didn't recall correctly. Sorry for the confusion. In any event, "urban" for the purpose of demographics is a function of population.
