ZCTAs or ZIP Code Tabulation Areas are the census equivalent of ZIP codes used for statistical purposes. The reason why regular ZIP codes are not used is because they are defined by routes rather than geographic boundaries. Thus, they have the tendency to overlap and otherwise create difficulties.
A census block is the smallest geographic unit used by the United States Census Bureau for tabulation of 100-percent data (data collected from all houses, rather than a sample of houses). The number of blocks in the United States , including Puerto Rico and other island areas, for the 2020 Census was 8,180,866.
A census tract, census area, census district or meshblock [1] is a geographic region defined for the purpose of taking a census. [2] Sometimes these coincide with the limits of cities , towns or other administrative areas [ 2 ] and several tracts commonly exist within a county.
Every Census Block Group has a unique 12-digit FIPS code. The Block Group's unique identifier is the 12th digit of the FIPS Code. This number determines the first digit of all the census blocks contained within a block group. For instance, census Block Group 2 includes any block numbered 2000 to 2999.
