Standard block groups are clusters of blocks within the same census tract that have the same first digit of their 4-character census block number (e.g., Blocks 3001, 3002, 3003 to 3999 in census tract 1210.02 belong to block group 3). Current block groups do not always maintain these same block number to block group relationships due to boundary and feature changes that occur throughout the decade. For example, block 3001 might move due to a change in the census tract boundary. Even if the block is no longer in block group 3, the block number (3001) will not change. However, the GEOID for that block, identifying block group 3, would remain the same in the attribute information in the TIGER/Line Shapefiles because block GEOIDs are always built using the decennial geographic codes.Block groups delineated for the 2020 Census generally contain 600 to 3,000 people. Local participants delineated most block groups as part of the Census Bureau's PSAP. The Census Bureau delineated block groups only where a local or tribal government declined to participate or where the Census Bureau could not identify a potential local participant.A block group usually covers a contiguous area. Each census tract contains one or more block groups and block groups have unique numbers within census tract. Within the standard census geographic hierarchy, block groups never cross county or census tract boundaries, but may cross the boundaries of county subdivisions, places, urban areas, voting districts, congressional districts, and AIANNH areas.Block groups have a valid range of zero (0) through nine (9). Block groups beginning with a zero generally are in coastal and Great Lakes water and territorial seas. Rather than extending a census tract boundary into the Great Lakes or out to the 3-mile territorial sea limit, the Census Bureau delineated some census tract boundaries along the shoreline or just offshore.

U.S. Census Block GroupsThis feature layer, utilizing National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA) data from the U.S. Census Bureau (USCB), displays Census block groups in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Per the USCB, "Block Groups (BGs) are clusters of blocks within the same census tract. Each census tract contains at least one BG, and BGs are uniquely numbered within census tracts. BGs have a valid code range of 0 through 9. BGs have the same first digit of their 4-digit census block number from the same decennial census. BGs coded 0 are intended to only include water area, no land area, and they are generally in territorial seas, coastal water, and Great Lakes water areas. Block groups generally contain between 600 and 3,000 people. A BG usually covers a contiguous area but never crosses county or census tract boundaries. They may, however, cross the boundaries of other geographic entities like county subdivisions, places, urban areas, voting districts, congressional districts, and American Indian / Alaska Native / Native Hawaiian areas".Block Group 2 - Census Tract 010400 (Santa Fe, NM area)Data version: This cached Esri federal service is checked weekly for updates from its enterprise federal source (Census Block Groups) and will support mapping, analysis, data exports and OGC API – Feature access.NGDAID: 70 (Series Information for Block Group State-based TIGER/Line Shapefiles, Current)OGC API Features Link: (U.S. Census Block Groups - OGC Features) copy this link to embed it in OGC Compliant viewersFor more information, please visit: What are census blocks?For feedback please contact: Esri_US_Federal_Data@esri.comNGDA Data SetThis data set is part of the NGDA Governmental Units, and Administrative and Statistical Boundaries Theme Community. Per the Federal Geospatial Data Committee (FGDC), this theme is defined as the "boundaries that delineate geographic areas for uses such as governance and the general provision of services (e.g., states, American Indian reservations, counties, cities, towns, etc.), administration and/or for a specific purpose (e.g., congressional districts, school districts, fire districts, Alaska Native Regional Corporations, etc.), and/or provision of statistical data (census tracts, census blocks, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, etc.). Boundaries for these various types of geographic areas are either defined through a documented legal description or through criteria and guidelines. Other boundaries may include international limits, those of federal land ownership, the extent of administrative regions for various federal agencies, as well as the jurisdictional offshore limits of U.S. sovereignty. Boundaries associated solely with natural resources and/or cultural entities are excluded from this theme and are included in the appropriate subject themes."For other NGDA Content: Esri Federal Datasets

A Block Group usually covers a contiguous area. Each census tract contains at least one BG, and BGs are uniquely numbered within the census tract. Within the standard census geography hierarchy, BGs never cross state, county, or census tract boundaries but may cross the boundaries of any other geographic entity. There are little more number of Census Block Groups within Los Angeles County in 2020 Census TIGER/Line Shapefiles, compared in 2010.BGs are generally define to contain between 600 to 3,000 people and 240 and 1,200 housing units.

The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Block Groups (BGs) are defined before tabulation block delineation and numbering, but are clusters of blocks within the same census tract that have the same first digit of their 4-digit census block number from the same decennial census. For example, Census 2000 tabulation blocks 3001, 3002, 3003,.., 3999 within Census 2000 tract 1210.02 are also within BG 3 within that census tract. Census 2000 BGs generally contained between 600 and 3,000 people, with an optimum size of 1,500 people. Most BGs were delineated by local participants in the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP). The Census Bureau delineated BGs only where the PSAP participant declined to delineate BGs or where the Census Bureau could not identify any local PSAP participant. A BG usually covers a contiguous area. Each census tract contains at least one BG, and BGs are uniquely numbered within census tract. Within the standard census geographic hierarchy, BGs never cross county or census tract boundaries, but may cross the boundaries of other geographic entities like county subdivisions, places, urban areas, voting districts, congressional districts, and American Indian / Alaska Native / Native Hawaiian areas. BGs have a valid code range of 0 through 9. BGs coded 0 were intended to only include water area, no land area, and they are generally in territorial seas, coastal water, and Great Lakes water areas. For Census 2000, rather than extending a census tract boundary into the Great Lakes or out to the U.S. nautical three-mile limit, the Census Bureau delineated some census tract boundaries along the shoreline or just offshore. The Census Bureau assigned a default census tract number of 0 and BG of 0 to these offshore, water-only areas not included in regularly numbered census tract areas.

The 2010 Census Block Groups with Demographic Profile dataset was produced by joining the U.S.Census Bureau's 2010 TIGER/Line File-derived Census Block Groups for Fulton County with selected 2010 Summary File 1 data fields. The result is a census block group boundary layer attributed with some the more commonly used demographics such as total population, population by race, population by age group, median age, and housing and household characteristics. Because the dataset was derived from the TIGER/Line File Census Block Groups, the U.S.Census Bureau's metadata for that dataset is provided below.The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB).

USE geoid TO JOIN DATA DOWNLOADED FROM DATA.CENSUS.GOV The TIGER/Line Shapefiles are extracts of selected geographic and cartographic information from the Census Bureau's Master Address File (MAF)/Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER) System (MTS). The TIGER/Line Shapefiles contain a standard geographic identifier (GEOID) for each entity that links to the GEOID in the data from censuses and surveys. The TIGER/Line Shapefiles do not include demographic data from surveys and censuses (e.g., Decennial Census, Economic Census, American Community Survey, and the Population Estimates Program). Other, non-census, data often have this standard geographic identifier as well. Data from many of the Census Bureau’s surveys and censuses, including the geographic codes needed to join to the TIGER/Line Shapefiles, are available at the Census Bureau’s public data dissemination website (https://data.census.gov/). Block Groups (BGs) are statistical divisions of census tracts, are generally defined to contain between 600 and 3,000 people, and are used to present data and control block numbering. A block group consists of clusters of blocks within the same census tract that have the same first digit of their four-digit census block number. For example, blocks 3001, 3002, 3003, . . . , 3999 in census tract 1210.02 belong to BG 3 in that census tract. Most BGs were delineated by local participants in the Census Bureau’s Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP). The Census Bureau delineated BGs only where a local or tribal government declined to participate in PSAP, and a regional organization or the State Data Center was not available to participate. A BG usually covers a contiguous area. Each census tract contains at least one BG, and BGs are uniquely numbered within the census tract. 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. Tribal census tracts and tribal BGs are separate and unique geographic areas defined within federally recognized American Indian reservations and can cross state and county boundaries (see “Tribal Census Tract” and “Tribal Block Group”). The tribal census tracts and tribal block groups may be completely different from the standard county-based census tracts and block groups defined for the same area.

A. SUMMARY Census Block groups are the next level above census blocks in the geographic hierarchy. Block groups are a combination of census blocks that is a subdivision of a census tract.A block group consists of all census blocks whose numbers begin with the same digit in a given census tract; for example, block group 3 includes all census blocks numbered in the 300s. More information on the census tracts can be found here. B. HOW THE DATASET IS CREATED The boundaries are uploaded from TIGER/Line shapefiles provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. C. UPDATE PROCESS This dataset is static. Changes to the census blocks are tracked in multiple datasets. See here for 2000 census tract boundaries. D. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET This boundary file can be joined to other census datasets on GEOID. Column descriptions can be found on in the technical documentation included on the census.gov website E.

Similarly, P0040001 was dropped, as it is duplicative of P0030001.In addition to calculated fields, County_Name and State_Name were added.The following calculated fields have been added (see long field descriptions in the Data tab for formulas used): PCT_P0030001: Percent of Population 18 Years and OverPCT_P0020002: Percent Hispanic or LatinoPCT_P0020005: Percent White alone, not Hispanic or LatinoPCT_P0020006: Percent Black or African American alone, not Hispanic or LatinoPCT_P0020007: Percent American Indian and Alaska Native alone, not Hispanic or LatinoPCT_P0020008: Percent Asian alone, Not Hispanic or LatinoPCT_P0020009: Percent Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, not Hispanic or LatinoPCT_P0020010: Percent Some Other Race alone, not Hispanic or LatinoPCT_P0020011: Percent Population of Two or More Races, not Hispanic or LatinoPCT_H0010002: Percent of Housing Units that are OccupiedPCT_H0010003: Percent of Housing Units that are VacantPlease note these percentages might look strange at the individual block group level, since this data has been protected using differential privacy.*VCGI exported a Vermont-only subset of the nation-wide layer to produce this layer--with fields limited to this popular subset: OBJECTID: OBJECTID GEOID: Geographic Record Identifier NAME: Area Name-Legal/Statistical Area Description (LSAD) Term-Part Indicator County_Name: County Name State_Name: State Name P0010001: Total Population P0010003: Population of one race: White alone P0010004: Population of one race: Black or African American alone P0010005: Population of one race: American Indian and Alaska Native alone P0010006: Population of one race: Asian alone P0010007: Population of one race: Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone P0010008: Population of one race: Some Other Race alone P0020002: Hispanic or Latino Population P0020003: Non-Hispanic or Latino Population P0030001: Total population 18 years and over H0010001: Total housing units H0010002: Total occupied housing units H0010003: Total vacant housing units P0050001: Total group quarters population PCT_P0030001: Percent of Population 18 Years and Over PCT_P0020002: Percent Hispanic or Latino PCT_P0020005: Percent White alone, not Hispanic or Latino PCT_P0020006: Percent Black or African American alone, not Hispanic or Latino PCT_P0020007: Percent American Indian and Alaska Native alone, not Hispanic or Latino PCT_P0020008: Percent Asian alone, not Hispanic or Latino PCT_P0020009: Percent Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander alone, not Hispanic or Latino PCT_P0020010: Percent Some Other Race alone, not Hispanic or Latino PCT_P0020011: Percent Population of two or more races, not Hispanic or Latino PCT_H0010002: Percent of Housing Units that are Occupied PCT_H0010003: Percent of Housing Units that are Vacant SUMLEV: Summary Level REGION: Region DIVISION: Division COUNTY: County (FIPS) COUNTYNS: County (NS) TRACT: Census Tract BLKGRP: Block Group AREALAND: Area (Land) AREAWATR: Area (Water) INTPTLAT: Internal Point (Latitude) INTPTLON: Internal Point (Longitude) BASENAME: Area Base Name POP100: Total Population Count HU100: Total Housing Count *To protect the privacy and confidentiality of respondents, data has been protected using differential privacy techniques by the U.S. Census Bureau.

This resource is a member of a series. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Block Groups (BGs) are clusters of blocks within the same census tract. Each census tract contains at least one BG, and BGs are uniquely numbered within census tracts. BGs have a valid code range of 0 through 9. BGs have the same first digit of their 4-digit census block number from the same decennial census. For example, tabulation blocks numbered 3001, 3002, 3003,.., 3999 within census tract 1210.02 are also within BG 3 within that census tract. BGs coded 0 are intended to only include water area, no land area, and they are generally in territorial seas, coastal water, and Great Lakes water areas. Block groups generally contain between 600 and 3,000 people. A BG usually covers a contiguous area but never crosses county or census tract boundaries. They may, however, cross the boundaries of other geographic entities like county subdivisions, places, urban areas, voting districts, congressional districts, and American Indian / Alaska Native / Native Hawaiian areas. The BG boundaries in this release are those that were delineated as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) for the 2020 Census.
