Wisconsin Department of Transportation - Non-Driver Tracts (2024)

Description:

Census tracts are
small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or equivalent
entity, and
are reviewed and
updated by local participants prior to each decennial census as part of the
Census
Bureau’s Participant
Statistical Areas Program (PSAP). The Census Bureau updates census tracts in
situations where no
local participant existed or where local or tribal governments declined to
participate.
The primary purpose of
census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the
presentation of
decennial census data.

Census tracts
generally have a population size between 1,200 and 8,000 people with an optimum
size of
4,000 people. The
spatial size of census tracts varies widely depending on the density of
settlement.
Ideally, census tract
boundaries remain stable over time to facilitate statistical comparisons from
census
to census. However,
physical changes in street patterns caused by highway construction, new
development, and so
forth, may require boundary revisions. In addition, significant changes in
population
may result in
splitting or combining census tracts.

Census tract boundaries generally follow
visible and identifiable features. They may follow legal
boundaries such as
minor civil division (MCD) or incorporated place boundaries in some states to
allow
for census
tract-to-governmental unit relationships where the governmental boundaries tend
to remain
unchanged between
censuses. State and county boundaries always are census tract boundaries in the
standard census
geographic hierarchy.
