Block Out Zip Code Record For Free

To find a census tract number for a street address, use these look-up tools: The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) maintains a look-up system for census tracts at https://geomap.ffiec.gov/FFIECGeocMap/GeocodeMap1.aspx.

A Census tract is roughly the size of a neighborhood, but may not correspond to actual neighborhoods or city boundaries. Census tracts are a useful tool to compare different areas across a city, state or country to one another.

Census Tract Census Tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or statistically equivalent entity that can be updated by local participants prior to each decennial census as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP).

(Making you key it in serves as an added security measure to foil a thief who doesn't know the numbers.) But it's usually unnecessary at brick-and-mortar stores, so just say no. And your ZIP code certainly shouldn't be posted on social media or other public websites.

Census tracts within a county are identified by a 4-digit basic code between 0001 and 9999, and may have a 2-digit suffix ranging from . 01 to . 98; for example, 6059.02. The decimal point separating the 4-digit basic tract code from the 2-digit suffix is shown in U.S. Census Bureau printed reports and maps.

Within the standard census geographic hierarchy, BGs never cross state, county, or census tract boundaries but may cross the boundaries of any other geographic entity.

Demographic data refer to the Decennial Census and other surveys of individuals and households administered by the Census Bureau.Access to these data will only be granted to qualified researchers on approved projects with authorization to use specific data sets.

There are also files that map zip codes to county codes, and to other census aggregating units. Wait, it gets even fancier. Because many zip codes overlap multiple census tracts, the files also indicate the proportion of residential and business addresses within each of those overlaps.

Census tracts are polygons and cover a well-defined geographic area. ZIP codes are clusters of lines; the U.S. Postal Service does not define ZIP Code boundaries. A very large number of 5-digit ZIP Codes are P.O. boxes or specific street addresses and thus represent points not even one line.
