As of the 2010 census, its population was 7,451 and it contained 3,435 housing units.[2] GeographyUrbana is Township 19 North, Range 9 East of the Third Principal Meridian. According to the 2010 census, the township has a total area of {{convert|24.07|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|24.03|sqmi}} (or 99.83%) is land and {{convert|0.04|sqmi}} (or 0.17%) is water.[2] Portions of the township have been removed through annexation with the cities of Champaign and Urbana. The University of Illinois South Farms occupy a large area south of the cities. Yankee Ridge, a glacial moraine, extends through the central part of the township. Glacial rocks and large boulders frequently turn up on farms and construction sites in this area. The Champaign County Poor Farm was in Section 16. The site on East Main Street in Urbana now has county offices, jail and nursing home.
