Census tract
(Redirected from Census area)
A census tract, census area, or census district is a particular community defined for the purpose of taking a census. Most often, these coincide with the limits of cities, towns, and townships. In unincorporated areas these are often arbitrary , except for coinciding with county lines.
Alaska
A census area is similar to a borough in the U.S. state of Alaska, with the following exceptions:
- Its name and boundaries are defined by the United States Census Bureau, not by the State of Alaska.
- It contains no area-wide government; therefore, it does not contain a capital (borough seat) city.
