Background on Census Data Conventions Lab 03 Background on Census Data Conventions

In the U.S., Census tracts are "Designed to be relatively homogeneous units with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions, census tracts average about 4,000 inhabitants." Why are the tracts different sizes?

Nested Administrative Units States Counties Census Tracts Census Blocks Census Tract is usually the most granular level of data provided by census County Census Tract Block Block Group

Example: Household Income by Census Tract

FIPS Code Structure 42003000102 42-003-0001.02 11-digit Geo ID Code State County Census Tract

Which counties are in my MSA? http://www.bea.gov/faq/index.cfm?faq_id=470 Pittsburgh, PA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) Allegheny, PA [42003] Beaver, PA [42007] Butler, PA [42019] Fayette, PA [42051] Washington, PA [42125] Westmoreland, PA [42129] FIPS Code for Allegheny County (42003) 42 = Pennsylvania 003 = Allegheny County

American Community Survey The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing statistical survey by the U.S. Census Bureau, sent to approximately 250,000 addresses monthly (or 3 million per year). It regularly gathers information previously contained only in the long form of the decennial census. It is the largest survey other than the decennial census that the Census Bureau administers. Note: What is the difference between 1 year, 3 year, 5 year?
