Census Tracts
Census tracts are small, geographic areas defined by the U.S. Census Bureau to collect and analyze population data. They typically contain around 1,200 to 8,000 residents and are designed to reflect similar social and economic conditions. Tracts help provide detailed insights into community demographics, such as age, income, and education levels. This information is valuable for government planning, business development, and social services, allowing stakeholders to understand and address the needs of specific neighborhoods.
