Estimated Latino 18+ citizens (2006) by tract

Click graphic for larger image.


This Google Earth KMZ file contains nearly 20,000 census tract centroids, representing all census tracts with an estimated 50 or more Latinos of voting age who are citizens as of July, 2006.

These estimates can be used to help set targets for voter registration efforts in Latino neighborhoods.

The tracts are sorted by state, county, and place. For faster load time, Google Earth initially displays Wisconsin only. Click on the sidebar boxes to display additional states.

Use the gCensus web form found here to obtain tract boundaries in KMZ format for your areas of interest.

No census tract in ME, NH, VT, or WV met the 50 person threshold.

Citizenship rates are from the 2000 census. The Census Bureau does not provide citizenship estimates by ethnicity for areas smaller than a census tract.

The 2006 citizen counts are adjusted to take into account population change.
