Custom Areas with Census Tracts

IP3 ASSESS supports area configuration using 11-digit census tracts. The 11 digits are made up of the following components:

00 (state) + 000 (county) + 000000 (tract)

00 - State FIPS code (Find your state code here)
000 - County FIPS code (Find your county code here)
000000 - Tract ID code - These digits represent the four-digit tract code + the two digits you'll sometimes see following the decimal (e.g., 107.01 would be 010701). You'll need to add leading zeros to have the full 6 digits. Here are some examples of creating a 6-digit tract: 

Tract 10 = 001000
Tract 111.02 = 011102

Let's look at a few examples of interpreting a full 11-digit census tract in IP3 | Assess



54 (State is West Virginia)
039 (County is Kanawha)
012300 (Tract is 123)




39 (State is Ohio)
061 (County is Hamilton)
024901 (Tract is 249.01)

You can find your 11-digit tract using this tool from the Census which supports both individual record and batch look-up.
