What is a Census Tract?
Census Tracts are: “Small geographical area established by local committees and approved by the Census Bureau, which contains a population segment with relatively uniform economic and social characteristics and clearly identifiable boundaries averaging approximately 1,200 households. http://www.ci.la.ca.us/PLN/DRU/C2K/C2KGlsry.htm
How do I find a Tract number?
There are three ways:
- Look at the tract map provided by the U.S. Census bureau. Under the map menu, choose the county you are researching, then in the menu select “[name of county] Tract level base map.” A .pdf file will open and the Tract numbers are marked on the map.

- Also, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) has a Geocoding system that gives Tract numbers for any given address.

- America's Factfinder now includes census tracts and block groups in it information. Search by address or use the "Reference maps" to find the corresponding census tract number.
