Enumeration Area

An Enumeration Area (EA) is a specific geographic zone used by governments and organizations to organize and conduct surveys or censuses. Think of it as a well-defined neighborhood or district mapped out for data collection. By breaking down larger regions into these smaller, manageable areas, officials can systematically gather information about people, households, or resources. This approach ensures thorough coverage and accurate data collection without overlap or missing sections, making it easier to analyze and understand community demographics, resources, and needs.
