census tracts

There are four main ways to get census tract maps on line:

UNHP's crg maps of census tracts are available as jpeg images or zoomable .pdfs (the pdf maps work best when you download [right click and save as] them first).

The New York State Social Indicator Project has created a new mapping and database tool that displays 2000 census data at the tract level. The mapping features are the best we've seen so far. Click on the Map Application link at the top of page and go to your region to get started. It's pretty user friendly and click on the print button at the top of your map once you're ready if you want to save it as an image.click here to use the NYS Social Indicator Project Mapping tool

The american fact finder maps from the Census Bureau.

The entire report is available for download but the file is enormous (19mb!), so if you don't have a high speed connection, be prepared to wait a while.
