The Census Bureau (https://www.census.gov/) maintains geographic boundaries for the analysis and mapping of demographic information across the United States. Every 10 years the Census Bureau counts the population of the United States as mandated by Constitution. The Census Bureau releases the results of this county as demographic data with geographic identifiers so that maps and analysis can be performed on the US population. There are little more Census Tracts within Los Angeles County in 2020 Census TIGER/Line Shapefiles, compared to 2010.Created/Updated: Updated on September 2023, to merged Long Beach Breakwater land-based tracts silver polygons into bigger tract 990300 as per 2022 TIGER Line Shapefiles, and to update Santa Catalina Islands and San Clemente Islands tract boundary based on DPW City boundaries (except 599000 tract in Avalon). Updated on Sep 2022 and Dec 2022, to align tract boundary along city boundaries. Created on March 2021. How was this data created? This geographic file was downloaded from Census Bureau website: https://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2020PL/STATE/06_CALIFORNIA/06037/on February, 2021 and customized for LA County. Data Fields:1. CT20 (TRACTCE20): 6-digit census tract number, 2. Label (NAME20): Decimal point census tract number.
What is unique about LA County’s data?It is clipped to the ocean boundary. Raw Census data includes a 3 mile buffer into the ocean, which impacts cartography.IMPORTANT! It has been updated to the 2012 Census Geography Update, which merged Tracts 1370.00 and 9304.01 into the combined tract 1370.00. So the CT10 field actually reflects the 2012 Census update, which is used for all population products 2012 and later.How was this data created?This data was downloaded from Census Bureau website: http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles2010/file-download and clipped to the County Boundary using ESRI’s ArcGIS Desktop. Two new fields were added in census tract data – area in square feet and shape length in feet. This dataset has unique identifier field “GEOID10” for each record and the census tract number fields “CT10” and “LABEL” (6-digit number and 6-digit number with decimal point, respectively).
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. BGs are the smallest geographic unit for which the Census Bureau tabulates sample data. Created/Updated: Updated on September 2023, to merged Long Beach Breakwater land-based block group silver polygons into bigger block group 9903000 as per 2022 TIGER Line Shapefiles, and to update Santa Catalina Islands and San Clemente Islands block group boundary based on DPW City boundaries (except 5990002 tract in Avalon).

Tabular data of population by age groups, race and gender, and the poverty by race is attached to the split tract geography to create this split tract with population and poverty data. Split tract data is the product of 2010 census tracts split by 2016 incorporated city boundaries and unincorporated community/countywide statistical areas (CSA) boundaries. The census tract boundaries have been altered and aligned where necessary with legal city boundaries and unincorporated areas, including shoreline/coastal areas. Census Tract:Every 10 years the Census Bureau counts the population of the United States as mandated by Constitution. The Census Bureau (https://www.census.gov/) released 2010 geographic boundaries data including census tracts for the analysis and mapping of demographic information across the United States. City Boundary:City Boundary data is the base map information for the County of Los Angeles. These City Boundaries are based on the Los Angeles County Seamless Cadastral Landbase. The Landbase is jointly maintained by the Los Angeles County Assessor and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (DPW). This layer represents current city boundaries within Los Angeles County. The DPW provides the most current shapefiles representing city boundaries and city annexations. True, legal boundaries are only determined on the ground by surveyors licensed in the State of California.Countywide Statistical Areas (CSA): The countywide Statistical Area (CSA) was defined to provide a common geographic boundary for reporting departmental statistics for unincorporated areas and incorporated Los Angeles city to the Board of Supervisors. The CSA boundary and CSA names are established by the CIO and the LA County Enterprise GIS group worked with the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Unincorporated Area and Field Deputies that reflect as best as possible the general name preferences of residents and historical names of areas. This data is primarily focused on broad statistics and reporting, not mapping of communities. This data is not designed to perfectly represent communities, nor jurisdictional boundaries such as Angeles National Forest. CSA represent board approved geographies comprised of Census block groups split by cities.Data Field:CT10: 2010 Census tractFIP16: 2016 City FIP CodeCITY: City name for incorporated cities and “Unincorporated” for unincorporated areas (as of July 1, 2016) CSA: Countywide Statistical Area (CSA) - Unincorporated area community names and LA City neighborhood names.CT10FIP16CSA: 2010 census tract with 2016 city FIPs for incorporated cities, unincorporated areas and LA neighborhoods.

Split tract polygon data is created by intersecting 2010 census tract polygons, LA Country City Boundary polygons and Countywide Statistical Areas (CSA) polygon data. The resulting polygon boundary aligned and matched with the legal city boundary whenever possible. Note:1. Population and poverty data estimated as of July 1, 2016. 2. 2010 Census tract and 2020 census tracts are not the same. Similarly, city and community boundary are not the same because boundary is reviewed and updated annually.
Web map containing various layers to be used as reference in Experience Builder. It will serve as a one-stop tool for waste hauler contractors working with Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, Environmental Programs Division, to identify customers that are eligible for fee waivers due to their property falling within areas deemed to be too low in population or too high in elevation; these are conditions used to identify areas that may be too prohibitively costly to provide organics recovery programs due to them being in rural or remote areas.The Experience Builder page, https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/df8689f7d5964f48a5390f6f937533d2 (that references this web map), was created to cross-reference qualifying low-population/high elevation census tracts with various residential franchise, garbage disposal district, and commercial franchise waste collection service areas in Los Angeles County and to assist haulers in providing Public Works with the number of waste generators that are located on each census tract. This information will assist Public Works with applying for SB1383 low population and/or high elevation waivers for these census tracts.

Visit the Equity Explorer to explore poverty status and other equity related datasets and indices, including the COVID Vulnerability and Recovery Index. Poverty status for census tracts in LA County from the US Census American Communities Survey (ACS), 2023.

The CT00 layer contains polygons for census areas. The source for the information in this layer is the U.S. Bureau of the Census and appropriate county government agencies. This file is extracted from the Los Angeles County Registrar/Recorder's Precinct Information File, which is designed to match the Thomas Brothers TRNL (road network) layer. Where census boundaries are defined by streets, water, city boundaries, or other features, those arc segments are copied to the CT00 layer, so that census tracts and other layer features match perfectly.
The Census Bureau (https://www.census.gov/) maintains census tract geographic boundaries for the analysis and mapping of demographic information across the United States. Every 10 years the Census Bureau provides opportunity to local government to review and update statistical areas boundary including census tract geography through Participants Statistical Areas Program (PSAP). Los Angeles County actively participated in PSAP program of 2010 and 2020 census and submit the update of census tract boundaries. There are little more Census Tracts within Los Angeles County in 2020 Census TIGER/Line Shapefiles, compared to 2010. The Census Bureau releases the results of census counts at different census geography including census tracts. This web map is crated to visualize the similarities and differences between Los Angeles County's 2010 and 2020 census tracts.
This data was created by combining the 2010 Census Block Group file as well as the Legal City Boundaries maintained by the LA County Department of Public Works.In reviewing this overlap, LA County aligned a fairly large number of block group boundaries to city boundaries where those boundaries were identified as being incorrectly misaligned by the Census Bureau. This removed split block groups that did not have any population assigned to them.To support the development of the Countywide Statistical Areas, some split block groups that had multiple parts were “unmerged” so that non-contiguous portions of the split block group could be assigned to different CSAs. Examples include areas of Unincorporated Quartz Hill and Lancaster that have 2 or more CSA names for a single split block group. Those portions are identified as “Parts” and tracked in the “Parts” field.In the City of Los Angeles, the LA City Neighborhood file was overlaid on the Block Groups and boundaries assigned using the centroid of the block group therefore, while the names of the CSAs in LA City match the neighborhood file, the boundaries are not the same.Field Descriptions:BG10 2010 Block Group (7 digits)CT10 2010 Census Tract (6 digits)FIPxx 2010-2020 City Code (5 digit FIPS code - note that Unincorporated is 99037)CITY_TYPE "City" or "Unincorporated"LCITY Legal City NameCSA - Countywide Statistical Area Name (e.g. Community)LABEL Pretty name for LabellingSOURCE CSA sourceBG10FIPxx 2010 - 2020 Split Block Group (Block group and FIP code combined)CT10FIPxx 2010 - 2020 Split Tract (Tract and FIP code combined)DISTRICT 2011 Supervisorial DistrictNOTES Notes relevant to the geographyPART Part number (for non-contiguous split block groups)PARTS Total number of non-contiguous parts (for non-contiguous split block groups)CSA_ID Unique BASA ID - combination of 2016 Split Block Group and Part NumberMERGED Flag if the Split BLock Group was merged into multi-part shapesCITYCOMM - merged values for the legal city, community, and supervisorial districtREMARKS - additional remarks about the source of any changes.
For the past several censuses, the Census Bureau has invited people to self-respond before following up in-person using census takers. The 2010 Census invited people to self-respond predominately by returning paper questionnaires in the mail. The 2020 Census allows people to self-respond in three ways: online, by phone, or by mail. The 2020 Census self-response rates are self-response rates for current census geographies. These rates are the daily and cumulative self-response rates for all housing units that received invitations to self-respond to the 2020 Census. The 2020 Census self-response rates are available for states, counties, census tracts, congressional districts, towns and townships, consolidated cities, incorporated places, tribal areas, and tribal census tracts. The Self-Response Rate of Los Angeles County is 65.1% for 2020 Census, which is slightly lower than 69.6% of California State rate. More information about these data are available in the Self-Response Rates Map Data and Technical Documentation document associated with the 2020 Self-Response Rates Map or review our FAQs. Animated Self-Response Rate 2010 vs 2020 is available at ESRI site SRR Animated Maps and can explore Census 2020 SRR data at ESRI Demographic site Census 2020 SSR Data.

Split tract polygon data is created by intersecting 2020 census tract polygons, LA Country City Boundary polygons and Countywide Statistical Areas (CSA) polygon data. The resulting polygon boundary aligned and matched with the legal city boundary whenever possible. Note:1. Population and poverty data estimated as of July 1, 2022. 2. 2010 Census tract and 2020 census tracts are not the same. Similarly, city and community boundary are not the same because boundary is reviewed and updated annually.

This EnviroAtlas dataset portrays the total number of historic places located within each Census Block Group (CBG). The historic places data were compiled from the National Register of Historic Places, which provides official federal lists of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects significant to American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service.

This is an update to the MSSA geometries and demographics to reflect the new 2020 Census tract data. The Medical Service Study Area (MSSA) polygon layer represents the best fit mapping of all new 2020 California census tract boundaries to the original 2010 census tract boundaries used in the construction of the original 2010 MSSA file. Each of the state's new 9,129 census tracts was assigned to one of the previously established medical service study areas (excluding tracts with no land area), as identified in this data layer. The MSSA Census tract data is aggregated by HCAI, to create this MSSA data layer. This represents the final re-mapping of 2020 Census tracts to the original 2010 MSSA geometries. The 2010 MSSA were based on U.S. Census 2010 data and public meetings held throughout California.
