The Bureau of the Census has released information about the population of counties, states, and cities. It also provides information on the characteristics of census tracts. Some of these statistics highlight the areas that are at risk of being undercounted. The Bureau provides a variety of resources to help residents of undercounted communities. The website includes features that allow you to search by zip code, census tract, landmark, or address. You can also learn about county and legislative districts.
The median family income (MFI) is the median income of two people living in the same home. This figure is used to compare the tract's median family income with the statewide median family income (MSA/MD). It also includes non-MSA/MD areas.
Census tracts are usually small communities of 4,000 or fewer residents, and can obscure changes in the neighborhood. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between racial and ethnic displacement, as well as the number of people in neighborhoods that have experienced gentrification. However, the findings of this study are limited to the not-too-distant past.
