Centers of population of US census tracts according to the 2000 census

Description

A data set of the latitude and longitude coordinates of the centers of population (centroids) of census block groups in the US states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Populations according to the 2000 decennial census are also included.

Usage

block_group2000

Format

A tibble with 211,267 rows and 7 variables:

STATEFP: The two-digit GEOID of the state where the block group is located
COUNTYFP: The last three digits of the five-digit GEOID of the county where the block group is located
TRACTCE: The last six digits of the eleven-digit GEOID of the tract where the block group is located
BLKGRPCE: The last digit of the twelve-digit GEOID of the block group
POPULATION: The population of the block group
LATITUDE: The latitude coordinate of the center of population (centroid) of the block group (positive is north; negative is south)
LONGITUDE: The longitude coordinate of the center of population (centroid) of the block group (positive is east; negative is west)

Details

There are 707 block groups with a POPULATION of 0 and a missing value for both LATITUDE and LONGITUDE.

Unlike county2000, block_group2000 does not contain data from American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, or the US Virgin Islands.

The source data file in the zip file on the US census website has different column names than what its data dictionary reports. The data dictionary's version of the column names were used, since they are consistent with the majority of the other data files and data dictionaries on the census website.
