What is a SIC code? What is a census tract?
A census tract is a code assigned to a geographic area by the United States Bureau of Census. Contiguous, relatively similar neighborhoods are grouped together to form census tracts. Census tract designations assist the Bureau of Census in gathering and analyzing data from the national census. Census tracts typically average between 2,000 to 4,000 households, although specific census tracts may be larger or smaller. A wealth of demographic information is available at a census tract level to assist marketers in targeting their efforts.
