The United States Census Bureau regularly releases
a geodatabase named TIGER. This table contains the 2010 census
Demographic Profile 1 values aggregated by census tract. Tract
areas vary tremendously, but in urban areas are roughly equivalent
to a neighborhood. There are about 74,000 polygon features covering
the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and
theIsland areas.
Each tract also includes attributes with sums of the DP1
population measurements that intersect the boundary. The columns
have the same name as the shortname column in theDP1 lookup
table.
