Small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county with boundaries not crossing county boundaries. Census tracts usually have between 2,500 and 8,000 persons. Spatial size of Census Tracts varies widely depending on the density of settlement. Census Tracts are delineated for all metropolitan areas (MAs) and other densely populated counties. Census Tracts are identified with a four-digit number and may have a two-digit suffix.

A boundary created by the U.S. Census Bureau that divides counties into populations ranging from 2,500 to 8,000.

A small, relatively permanent statistical subdivision of a county delineated by a local committee of census data users for the purpose of presenting data. Census tract boundaries normally follow visible features, but may follow governmental unit boundaries and other non-visible features in some instances; they always nest within counties. Designed to be relatively homogeneous units with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions at the time of establishment, census tracts average about 4,000 inhabitants. They may be split by any sub-county geographic entity.

A Census geographical identifier that groups several blockgroups.

U.S. Census Bureau's term for enumeration district. Smallest area for which census data is collected and reported on.

A unit of census geography defined by the Census Bureau for the purpose of presenting decennial census data. Census tracts are made up of block groups. Their boundaries generally follow visible features, though in some circumstances their boundaries may follow governmental unit boundaries or other nonvisible features. In general, census tracts must contain between 1,500 and 8,000 inhabitants.

Six digit number designed by HUD to identify a neighborhood. Census tract numbers are entered on compliance reports to monitor a lender's mortgage activity.

a geographical area identified by the U

a geographic designation established by the U

an area used by the U

a small, permanently established, geographical area within a large city and its environs

a statistical area that was created to provide data for small areas, like neighborhoods

A designated geographic area as determined by the most recent United States decennial or special census.

A small, relatively permanent area (US) into which metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) and certain other area are divided for the purpose of providing statistics for small areas. When census tracts are established they are designed to be homogeneous with respect to population characteristics, economic status and living conditions. Census tracts generally have between 2,500 and 8,000 residents.

Geographic areas made up of block groups recommended by the states and used by the Census Bureau for the collection and presentation of decennial census data.

A small, relatively permanent statistical subdivision of a county or statistically equivalent entity, delineated for data presentation purposes in accordance with Census Bureau guidelines. Designed to be relatively homogeneous units with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions, Census Tracts generally contain between 1,000 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. Census tract boundaries are delineated with the intention of being stable over many decades, and generally follow relatively permanent visible features. However, they may follow governmental unit boundaries and other invisible features in some instances. The boundary of a state or county (or statistically equivalent entity) is always a census tract boundary.

A small, relatively permanent statistical subdivision of a county or statistically equivalent entity delineated for statistical data presentation purposes. Census tracts generally contain between 2,500 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. Census tracts vary in actual size because they are based on the number of people in the area, not the number of miles. Census tract boundaries are delineated with the intention of being stable over many decades, so they generally follow relatively permanent visible features. However, census tract boundaries always follow governmental unit boundaries: the boundary of a state or county is always a census tract boundary.

A small, relatively permanent statistical subdivision of a county established by the U.S. Census and designed to be homogenous with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions. Tracts usually have between 2,500 and 8,000 residents.

A geographic region whose boundaries are defined by the census bureau based on the number of people who live within the area. Used when determining neighborhood characteristics on appraisals.

Area within a zip code group denoting households with uniform social and economic characteristics. Tracts generally have between 2,500 and 8,000 residents.

Census Tracts are a small, relatively permanent statistical subdivision of a county delineated by a local committee of Census data users for the purpose of presenting data. Census tract boundaries normally follow visible features, but may follow governmental unit boundaries and other non-visible features in some instances; they always nest within counties. The average census tract contains about 4,000 inhabitants, usually sharing population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions at the time of establishment. They may be split by any sub-county geographic entity.( Back to the top)

A geographical area containing approximately 1,000-2,000 properties of a similar nature. As areas change over time due to changes in population density and other factors, the census tract boundaries may change as well.

A census tract or CT is a small, permanent, compact geographic unit usually following permanent and easily recognisable physical features. Census tracts are designated by local committees and Statistics Canada to collect information about the population in urban as well as rural areas. Census tracts must be between 2,000 and 8,000 people but an average of 4,000 is generally preferred. The number of CT’s used to represent the population varies with the size of the urban area. For example the Quebec Census Metropolitan Area (QCMA) has 153 census tracts whereas the Montreal Census Metropolitan Area (MCMA) contains 748 CT’s. Census tracts were designed to facilitate national and historical statistical comparisons.

Census tracts are mall, relatively stable geographic areas that usually have a population of 2,500 to 8,000. They are located in census metropolitan areas and in census agglomerations with an urban core population of 50,000 or more in the previous census.

A small, relatively permanent statistical subdivision of a county.  Census tract boundaries normally follow visible features, but my also follow governmental unit boundaries or other non-visible features.  A census tract may contain anywhere between 2,500 and 8,000 people.

Geographical area containing a population segment with relatively uniform characteristics and clearly identifiable boundaries averaging 1200 households.

A census tract is a small statistical subdivision of a county. Census tract data identifies population and housing statistics about a specific part of an urban area. This is particularly important when you want information about a particular part of a large city. A single community may be composed of several census tracts.

A permanent, small urban neighbourhood-like or rural community-like area established in large urban-centred regions with the help of local specialists interested in urban and social science research.

A specified geographic area that is defined and established by the U.S. Census Bureau. It identifies an area with a population of 3000-4000 people. Census track definitions are subject to change every ten years, based on the new census data.

A census tract, census area, or census district is a particular community defined for the purpose of taking a census. Usually these coincide with the limits of cities, towns or other administrative areas and several tracts commonly exist within a county. In unincorporated areas of the United States these are often arbitrary, except for coinciding with political lines.
