Gazetteer Files
Gazetteer Files
The U.S. Gazetteer Files provide a listing of all geographic areas for selected geographic area types. The files include geographic identifier codes, names, area measurements, and representative latitude and longitude coordinates.
Gazetteer Files
This page provides links to the 2021 gazetteer files for 116th 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, and unified), state legislative districts (upper and lower), 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 2021 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 2013-2020 American Community Survey, 2020 Census, 2010 Census, Census 2000, or 1990 Census files.

State Legislative Districts - Lower Chamber
The state legislative districts - lower chamber file contains data for 49 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico for the 2018 election cycle. Nebraska has a unicameral legislature and the District of Columbia has a single council, both of which the Census Bureau treats as upper-chamber legislative areas for the purpose of data presentation. Therefore, there are no data by the lower house of the state legislative districts for either Nebraska or the District of Columbia.
