What is a Census Tract, and how current is this data?
Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county designed by the U.S. Census Bureau to contain roughly 1,200 to 8,000 residents, with boundaries held stable across decades so researchers can track neighborhoods over time. Tract-level figures from the American Community Survey are five-year rolling averages rather than snapshots, that smoothing reduces year-to-year noise in small areas but also means the numbers you see here describe the period ending in the reference year rather than a single moment.
