TIGER/Line Shapefile, 2014, Series Information File for the Current Tribal Block Group National Shapefile
A tribal block group is a cluster of census tabulation blocks within a single tribal census
tract delineated by American Indian tribal participants or the Census Bureau for the purpose of presenting demographic
data on their reservation and/or off-reservation trust land. The tribal block groups are defined independently of the
standard county-based block group delineation. For federally recognized American Indian Tribes with reservations and/or
off-reservation trust lands with a population less than 1,200, a single tribal block group is defined. Qualifying
reservations and/or off-reservation trust lands with a population greater than 1,200 could define additional tribal block
groups within their area without regard to the standard block group configuration. Tribal block groups do not necessarily
contain tabulation blocks always beginning with the same number and could contain seemingly duplicate block numbers.
Tabulation block numbers are still assigned by using standard block groups, not the tribal block groups. To better identify
tribal block groups, the letter code range A through K (except I, which could be confused with a number 1) is used uniquely
within each tribal census tract. The boundaries of tribal block groups and tribal census tracts are those delineated through
the Tribal Statistical Areas Program (TSAP) for the 2010 Census.
