ABAG Projections 2009 (Current Forecast)

WHY WOULD I WANT CENSUS TRACT DATA?

Let's say you're looking to locate a small business in San Francisco. Getting data for the whole city isn't going to do you much good. You need data for only a certain part of the city. In other words, data for a certain district or neighborhood. This is where tract-level data is most valuable.

Perhaps you're filling out a grant application and need information on the demographic and economic characteristics of people in your immediate vicinity. Again, census tract projections are the way to go because getting data for the whole city will not accurately portray the area in which you are interested.

The most recent census tract data from the Census Bureau is for 2000, and is available from the Census Bureau online using American Factfinder. If you need more current data or future forecasts for areas smaller than a whole city, ABAG can provide forecasts by census tract out to 2035.
