Census Tract (CT) Profiles, 2006 Census

Census tracts are small, relatively stable geographic areas that usually have a population of 2,500 to 8,000. They are identified using seven-character numeric 'names' (e.g., 0005.00) and are located in census metropolitan areas (CMAs) and larger census agglomerations (CAs)¹. View a list of CMAs and CAs containing census tracts.
