There are several options for determining the census 2000 tract, block group or block number for a given area. The most convenient method for determining census tracts and block groups for those with Internet access is to visit the Census Bureau’s American FactFinder website http://factfinder.census.gov/. There one can view a map of the area of interest and select the types of boundaries to be shown, including tract and block group. Entering a street address to identify the area of interest makes location on the map easy. To determine the census block for a given location one needs to view either a P.L. 94-171 County Block map or a Census 2000 block map. The Census Bureau also produces maps showing census tracts and their higher level geography. Maps can also be purchased from the Census Bureau on DVD and CD-ROM.
