This page provides links to the 2023 gazetteer files for 118th Congressional Districts, American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian Areas, census tracts, counties, county subdivisions (minor civil divisions/census county divisions), places, school districts (elementary, secondary, unified, and administrative), state legislative districts (upper and lower), 2020 urban areas, and ZIP Code tabulation areas (ZCTAs) for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

Notes:

  • All national files are in compressed format.
  • Files are tab-delimited text, one line per record unless otherwise noted.
  • Data are available for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico unless otherwise noted.
  • Population and housing unit counts are not included in these files.
  • The Island Areas (American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) are not included in these files.
  • The geography in these files matches the areas for which the 2023 American Community Survey data are published.
  • Because of changes in boundaries and entity names, the creation of new entities, and the dissolution of others, users should not expect a one-to-one relationship between the entity names and codes in these files and the 2013-2022 American Community Survey, 2020 Census, 2010 Census, Census 2000, or 1990 Census files.
  • Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSA) files are available for the 2023 data year.
