Describes how area measurement information for 1990 geographic entities differ from the identification and presentation of these data for previous decennial censuses. Among the changes in 1990 are area measurement figures for every geographic entity (including areas as varied as states, counties, and census tracts) and all bodies of water. Previous censuses had minimum population requirements for the measurement of area data and included measurements only for inland water.
