Census 2010 Census Block GeoDemographic resources include census block shapefiles for mapping and geospatial analysis, census block demographic datasets and shapefiles with integrated demographics. There are more than 11 million Census 2010 census blocks covering the U.S. wall-to-wall. Census blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which decennial census data are tabulated and are the smallest/lowest-level building blocks for most other Census legal and statistical area geography.

Access/analyze these data using the ProximityOne CV XE GIS or your own software. Washington, DC; census blocks in context of OpenStreetMaps  See more views and related GIS/mapping details.
Census blocks are normally bounded by roads and rails where possible. Generally permanent from census to census,
census blocks are given a unique identifier comprised of state code(2) + county code(3) + tract code(6) + block code(4).
See examples in above view where census blocks are labeled with their GEOID/geocode.

Census block data meet a wide range of reference, planning,
analysis, and data linkage needs. Selected topics are covered below.
Legislative Districts. While 2010 census blocks will generally retain the same code/ID and scope of geography until 2020 (there are some that have changed resulting from post-Census 2010 census tract reorganization), the initial Census 2010 Summary File 1 (SF1) tabulations reflected the 112th Congressional Districts (CDs) and corresponding pre-redistricting state legislative districts (SLDs). To equivalence Census 2010 census blocks to the 113th CDs and post-redistricted SLDs requires use of the 113th CD SF1 released in 2013. The 113th SF1 geographic segment provides the required crosswalk codes. Market Size/Composition. Use these maximum geographic granularity demographic data to target your marketing, sales, operations, logistics, and related customer/market-oriented needs. Schools & School Districts. By using census blocks (better yet block groups) to define school service areas or attendance zones will make it easier to use Census 2010 and American Community Survey (ACS) annual demographics to examine characteristics of those areas. School districts are defined as a set of census blocks. For districts that change boundary after the 2009-2010 school year (date for school district boundary data in Census 2010 references), you can tabulate the size and characteristics of the new district configuration and assess implication since changes from previous boundaries -- by using census block geodemographics. NTIA Broadband Initiative. Census block level data are of critical importance to the U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) broadband availability enhancement. Only using the 2010 census block data can broadband providers accurately assess broadband availability by urban/rural geography. Civil Rights Issues. The single year of age detail, by gender, in the SF1 database provide an easily accessible database useful in wide ranging applications involving civil rights cases. It becomes a relatively straightforward application to determine the demographic size and composition of any study area. Health. The Census 2010 data are used in many application areas as "denominator" data. That is, by knowing the size of the population or housing served, health analysts can better examine the implications of magnitude associate with health-related measures that are often difficult to measure directly. Areas subject to analysis for health-related reasons are sometimes defined in a fluid manner making the block level granularity ideal to develop denominator data for health cachement areas. Environment. The impact of pollutants along a stream or coastal area can often be measured in terms of toxicity to the geographic area exposed. The census block data enable analysts to examine the size of particular types of population adjacent to environmental impact sites. Disaster Planning. The SF1 data provide a unique way to be able to determine the impact of any type of disaster with near pin-point accuracy -- and dynamically. Urban & Rural. Each census block is classified as urban or rural. The census block is the smallest urban area geographic area. Groups of urban blocks are used to define urban clusters and urbanized areas. The initial Census 2010 SF1 did not provide an urban-rural indicator at the block level. Use the 2013 Census 2010 113th CD SF1 and 2013 TIGER/Line block shapefiles files to identify blocks as urban or rural. Aggregate Block Data. Summary or aggregate data can be developed for study areas based radii, corridors, or geographic correspondence of block within an area. Aggregate the Census 2010 demographics contained in the data record to your target geography. The data record contains the latitude-longitude as well as the full sequence of geocodes to enable these types of data aggregation. Geographic Relationships. Determine, for example, what ZIP code areas are partly/wholly contained with a city, metropolitan area, county, custom study area, or many other types of geography. Use the block correspondence list to enable your software to aggregate non-census data to block or any of these other areas. Equivalencing Census 2000 with Census 2010 Census Blocks Census 2000 census blocks compared to Census 2010 census blocks often differ in terms of geographic area covered and/or census block codes. What was Census 2000 block 1007 in tract 4124.00 (aka 4124 aka 412400) in Harris County, Texas is subdivided into several blocks for Census 2010. See these relationships by map view and tabularly in the Census 2000 - Census 2010 Census Block Relationships Gallery views. The Census 2000-Census 2010 census block equivalence file can be used to examine these differences. Fields included in this file are listed in the following scroll section.
