LightBox Census Boundaries - Tract API

Number of APIs: 4

Overview

Use a geometry, or an ID to return a census tract boundary. Add census tract boundaries to modern map controls or reports with tile and bounding box image requests.

A census tract is a geographic region defined for the purpose of taking a census. Census tracts represent the smallest territorial entity for which population data are available in many countries. In the United States, census tracts are subdivided into block groups and census blocks.
