Entity Type Definition
The points represent the centroids of census blocks, the smallest entity for which the Census Bureau collects and tabulates decennial census information within the United States; bounded by visible features such as streets, streams, and railroad tracks, and by nonvisible boundaries such as selected property lines and city, township, school district, and county limits. Note: this data set doesn't include the centroids of census blocks that for example consist of water polygons, medians, access ramps, and land enclosures.
