<abstract>This GIS layer contains the geographical boundaries of the 2020 census blocks for Loudoun County, Virginia. The 2020 Census block boundaries were used for statistical data collection and tabulation purposes for the 2020 Decennial Census. Census blocks are the smallest geographic area for publishing data from the decennial Census. The geographical area covered by this geographic feature class is generally very small in densely settled areas, for instance one city block. In sparsely settled areas they may cover several square miles. Census blocks nest within every 2020 Census geographic area (i.e. block groups, tracts, census designated places, and local, state, and federal election districts). This nesting of blocks allows Census Bureau statistical data to be tabulated to the appropriate geographic areas by aggregating the block data up. Census blocks are uniquely numbered within census tracts, with the blocks valid range being 1 to 9999 with leading zeros added (i.e. 0001, 0023) when necessary to create a four digit unique identifier. This 2010 Census block layer is based on the U.S. Census Bureau Census 2020 TIGER/Line files. The boundaries are an extract of aerial photography and cartographic information, such as roads and streams, from the Loudoun County GIS system. Census Blocks are bounded on all sides by visible features, such as roads, streams, lakes, power lines, and railroad tracks, and/or by non-visible boundaries such as town and county boundaries, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads.</abstract>
<purpose>Census blocks are used in demographic analyses of Loudoun County. They are also used during the redistricting process to define local, state, and federal election boundaries. Blocks give the most detailed picture of the demographics within a given area.</purpose>
<supplinf>The 2010 Census block layer has been modified from the Census Bureau's Tiger line file. Users should be aware that the Census's Tiger line data is devised from a mix of national and local GIS data sets. When the Tiger line data is overlaid with Loudoun County Government's detailed GIS layers it can be determined that the Census Bureau's Tiger line boundaries in some cases are slightly off from the actual location of the physical features, natural features, and governmental units such as town boundaries that they are designated to follow. The 2010 Loudoun Census block layer was generated by Loudoun County so that the block boundaries would overlay with the features in Loudoun County's GIS data sets that the boundary are designated to follow. Data are stored in the corporate ArcSDE Geodatabase as a polygon feature class. The coordinate system is Virginia State Plane (North), Zone 4501, datum NAD83 HARN (vertical datum, if applicable, NAVD88), US Survey foot units.</supplinf>

<idPurp>Census blocks are used in demographic analyses of Loudoun County. They are also used during the redistricting process to define local, state, and federal election boundaries. Blocks give the most detailed picture of the demographics within a given area.</idPurp>
<idAbs>&lt;DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;This GIS layer contains the geographical boundaries of the 2020 census blocks for Loudoun County, Virginia. The 2020 Census block boundaries were used for statistical data collection and tabulation purposes for the 2020 Decennial Census. Census blocks are the smallest geographic area for publishing data from the decennial Census. The geographical area covered by this geographic feature class is generally very small in densely settled areas, for instance one city block. In sparsely settled areas they may cover several square miles. Census blocks nest within every 2020 Census geographic area (i.e. block groups, tracts, census designated places, and local, state, and federal election districts). This nesting of blocks allows Census Bureau statistical data to be tabulated to the appropriate geographic areas by aggregating the block data up. Census blocks are uniquely numbered within census tracts, with the blocks valid range being 1 to 9999 with leading zeros added (i.e. 0001, 0023) when necessary to create a four digit unique identifier. This 2010 Census block layer is based on the U.S. Census Bureau Census 2020 TIGER/Line files. The boundaries are an extract of aerial photography and cartographic information, such as roads and streams, from the Loudoun County GIS system. Census Blocks are bounded on all sides by visible features, such as roads, streams, lakes, power lines, and railroad tracks, and/or by non-visible boundaries such as town and county boundaries, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;</idAbs>
