This map shows US Census Bureau’s “Census Tracts”. The map also shows individual Block Groups within a census tract. If you know your Census Tract and Block Group numbers, then it is possible to look up census data on just your track or block group. Note that there are differences between the census tracts for the 1990 census and the 2000 census.

You can find maps and other information at the US Census Bureau’s “American Fact Finder” web site. Enter your tract number on www.freedemographics.com for out free demographic reports.

For the 2000 Census, the Lakewood side of Lakewood Village has a Census Tract number 5048.06. The Fairwood side of Lakewood Village has a Census Tract number 5048.02, but that tract also includes the Adobe Wells mobile home park and some of the industrial area north of Tasman Drive and south of Highway 237. It also includes The Arches apartment complex on Wildwood Avenue.

To be more exacting, you can use Block Group numbers to further specify a census area. Using Block Groups helps eliminate populations that are outside of Lakewood Village from the census data. For the 2000 census, here are the tract and block group numbers:

• Unit 1: Census Tract 5048.02, Block Group 3 (includes also The Arches apartment complex)
• Unit 2: Census Tract 5048.06, Block Group 2
• Unit 3: Census Tract 5048.02, Block Group 2
• Unit 4: Census Tract 5048.06, Block Group 1

It is also possible to get all the way down to individual Blocks.

The diagram, below, shows how Census Tracts and Block Groups fit into the overall scheme of census geography.
