These data do NOT reflect changes resulting from the 2020 Census Count Question Resolution Operation (CQR). For the revised data, see 2020 Decennial Census Notes and Errata. This dataset includes unaltered 2020 Census Public Law 94-17 data (P.L. 94-171 Redistricting Data) for census block groups within the NCTCOG region.

This dataset includes 2020 census blocks groups as delineated by the U.S. Census Bureau and made available through their TIGER/Line files. Block groups are clusters of census blocks within the same census tract that have the same first digit of their 4-character census block number. Each census tract contains one or more block groups and block groups have unique numbers within census tract. For example, within the same census tract, blocks 3001, 3002, 3003 to 3999 would belong to block group 3. A block group usually covers a contiguous area. Within the standard census geographic hierarchy, block groups never cross county or census tract boundaries, but may cross the boundaries of places, urban areas, voting districts, congressional districts, and other areas.

This dataset includes 2020 census places as identified or delineated by the U.S. Census Bureau and made available through their TIGER/Line files. Places include both Incorporated Places (usually cities, towns, or villages) and Census Designated Places (statistical entities). Incorporated places are those reported to the Census Bureau as legally in existence as of January 1, 2020. Incorporated places may extend across counties. Census Designated Places (CDPs) are the statistical counterparts of incorporated places. They are settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name but not legally incorporated under the laws of the state in which the CDPs are located. The Census Bureau defines CDP boundaries in cooperation with local partners. CDP boundaries usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent Incorporated Place or another legal entity boundary. They have no legal status, no elected officials to serve traditional municipal functions, and no population size requirements for classification.

Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or equivalent entity. Census 2010 tracts generally have a population size between 1,200 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people.
