The Classification of the Degree of Urbanization is a classification that seeks to characterize the intensity of settlement in cells of the statistical grid of 1 km² where the population resides. Based on population density different categories of areas are defined based on criteria of geographic contiguity, density and population thresholds according to the methodology described by Eurostat for the assignment of territorial typologies in statistical mesh: urban centers, urban groups and cells of rural mesh.

As of the 2020 edition and following the latest Eurostat work, level 2 of the degree of urbanization has been included, expanding the number of categories to 7.
