County by Census Tract. Click the Census tracts link -- http://proximityone.com/luca06077t.htm. A new window appears showing a portion of San Joaquin County by census tract. The census tracts are shown with blue boundaries. These boundaries are based on the census tracts shapefile reviewed in the CV project described earlier on this page. An XML file is generated for the census tracts boundary file using the Proximity Shp2XML tool. The red markers are located at the geographic centroid of the census tract.
