Hierarchy of Census Geography
Provide Comparison 1. Over Time (2000, 2010)
– Demonstrate emerging issues affecting your population– Beware of changes in census tract boundaries
2. Compare Subject Data to a Larger Group– City/Town to County or State– Census Tract to Other Tracts or to City or County
