2000 Census Tracts. Next, click on the link in the white Address Search box on the left-hand side of
the page that says "street address" and enter the street address of the location for which you would
like to receive tract data. You should then see a box that gives different population options. Select
the census tract option and click on "OK".
Location of Maps
Available electronically at URL listed above. In order to view census tract maps, scroll down to third heading in Part I that says "Census Outline Maps." From here, you can view the maps or download them in PDF format. In addition, you can click on the link for American FactFinder to create Reference Maps, Thematic Maps and Custom Tables containing Census 2000 Census Tract data.
Block Groups
In order to view census block data, complete same steps as given for finding census tract data, but select the "block group" or "block" (depending on what information you are seeking), instead of "census tract" from the different population options.
