Census Tract
Contents Hide
Census tract is a small statistical subdivision of a county. Usually these coincide with the limits of cities, towns or other administrative areas and several tracts commonly exist within a county. In the United States, census tracts are subdivided into census block groups and census blocks. The option to use census tracts is available only in some lists. Each Census Tract is assigned an 11-digit numeric code. For more information, see FIPS Codes.
