Massachusetts census tract map

Thirdly regarding the 1614 census tracts, the Massachusetts census tract map by county product has grouped them by 14 counties, as PowerPoint templates are labeled with Census Tracts’ codes. The layers are grouped into two categories, one by Census Tracts shapes and the other by Census Tracts’ names, which makes it easier to customize your slides.

Massachusetts is a state in the New England region of the Northeastern US. It borders Vermont and New Hampshire to its north, New York to its west, and Connecticut and Rhode Island to its south. To its east, the state meets the Atlantic Ocean, featuring the famous hooks of Cape Cod and the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. Boston is the capital of this State.

The 1,614 Census Tracts of Massachusetts represent the fundamental geographic building blocks used by the U.S. Census Bureau to analyze the Commonwealth’s population, economy, and social health. For the 2020 Census, the number of tracts in Massachusetts increased to 1,614, up from 1,478 in 2010, reflecting the state’s population growth and the need for more granular data.

Key Changes in the 2020 Tally

The increase from 1,478 to 1,614 tracts was largely driven by the Greater Boston area’s “vertical” growth. As apartment complexes and high-rises replaced industrial sites in places like the Seaport District or Somerville, the Census Bureau had to “split” existing tracts to keep the population counts within the 8,000-person limit.
