Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or equivalent entity, and were defined by local participants as part of the 2020 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program. The Census Bureau delineated the census tracts in situations where no local participant existed or where all the potential participants declined to participate. The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the presentation of census data and comparison back to previous decennial censuses. <\/SPAN><\/P>

Block Groups (BGs) are clusters of blocks within the same census tract. Each census tract contains at least one BG, and BGs are uniquely numbered within census tracts. BGs have a valid code range of 0 through 9. BGs have the same first digit of their 4-digit census block number from the same decennial census. <\/SPAN><\/P>

Census blocks are relatively small in area; for example, a block in a city bounded by streets. However, census blocks in remote areas are often large and irregular and may even be many square miles in area. <\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV>", "extent":[[-8534930.035386158,-8249064.876613842],[4634447.238945989,4851556.670354011]], "url":"https://enterprise.firstmap.delaware.gov/arcgis/rest/services/Society/DE_Census_2020/MapServer" }
