Census tract data and maps from the 1960-80 Censuses are on hold at the Documents Desk for your class. There are no CD-ROMS.

To compare tract numbering:

• Look at maps of the earlier and latest Census to see if they physically compare.
• Use the comparability tables in the paper reports to see if geographic areas compare despite renumbering between the Censuses.

If a census tract split between 1980 and 1990

• It is possible it split along block group lines
• Ask the Documents staff for copies of the block maps for 1980 and 1990 to compare the areas
• Block group data (for Michigan only) is available on microfiche in the Documents Center.
