Boundaries: State of Texas Census Tracts (Based off 2020 Census)
A census tract is a geographic area defined by the U.S. Census Bureau for the purpose of collecting and analyzing demographic data. Typically, a census tract contains a population of about 1,200 to 8,000 people and is designed to reflect homogenous social and economic characteristics. Tracts are used in various statistical analyses and are updated every ten years with the decennial census, allowing for a detailed understanding of population trends, housing, and economic conditions within specific communities.
These files do not include demographic data, but they contain geographic entity codes that can be linked to the Census Bureau’s demographic data, available on the United States Census Bureau's Website.
