Description:

Abstract:

This data set consists of the polygonal boundaries for the 2000 Census Blocks for New Haven County, CT.

Census blocks, the smallest geographic area for which the Bureau of the Census collects and tabulates decennial census data, are formed by streets, roads, railroads, streams and other bodies of water, other visible physical and cultural features, and the legal boundaries shown on Census Bureau maps. Census data for these areas serve as a valuable source for small-area geographic studies.

Purpose:

The data are created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analysis purposes. These data do not represent a legal record. Use of data for engineering work is prohibited
