2010 Census Block Assignment Files

The 2010 Census Block Assignment Files and Name Look-up tables are now being posted, by state, as they are delivered to the states. These files are intended for data users who want to know which blocks make up a specific geography and/or those who wish to use the demographic data without using the TIGER/Line shapefiles. The Block Assignment Files are being generated for the following geographies:

  • Congressional Districts
  • State Legislative Districts
  • Voting Districts
  • School Districts
    • Elementary
    • Secondary
    • Unified
  • Incorporated Places + Census Designated Places
  • American Indian/Alaska Native/Hawaiian Homeland Areas

There is one Name Look-up table generated for each level of geography with the exception of the Incorporated Place + Census Defined Place table. For that geography there are two Name Look-up tables generated, one for Incorporated Places and another for Census Defined Places.
