Description:

Abstract:

Census bureau statistical units. Most commonly used statistical unit. This version, released January 2004 contains a fix, replacing tract 172 which was omitted from previous versions.

Purpose:

To cartographically present census data or other data gathered by census tract.

Supplemental_Information:

These data are available in the native ArcINFO Coverage or converted by PASDA staff to Shape-File format. The ArcINFO Coverages should be unzipped using the 'Retain directory structure" option in your unzip utility. This will create a directory with the same name as the archive file. The coverage directories and files will decompress in that directory
