Two Categories of Census Geography Legal and Administrative Entities Result from legal actions, treaties, ordinances, and so on. Boundaries generally accepted as provided by appropriate authorities. Statistical Entities Evolve from practice, usage, or need. Boundaries generally delineated using Census Bureau criteria and guidelines
Census Geographic Areas Redistricting data is available for census blocks to build wards
So, what is a Census Block? And why do we care? Census Blocks are bounded on all sides by: Visible Features Invisible Features Streets Local government boundaries (county, city, village, town) Roads Property Lines Streams Imaginary extensions of streets or roads Railroad tracks Wards must follow block boundaries
What is a Town of Muskrat What is a Census block? Census Block (really?) Village of Muskrat
