Resource Abstract:
- description: A tribal block group is a cluster of census tabulation blocks within a single tribal census tract delineated
by American Indian tribal participants or the Census Bureau for the purpose of presenting demographic data on their reservation
and/or off-reservation trust land. The tribal block groups are defined independently of the standard county-based block group
delineation. For federally recognized American Indian Tribes with reservations and/or off-reservation trust lands with a population
less than 1,200, a single tribal block group is defined. Qualifying reservations and/or off-reservation trust lands with a
population greater than 1,200 could define additional tribal block groups within their area without regard to the standard
block group configuration. Tribal block groups do not necessarily contain tabulation blocks always beginning with the same
number and could contain seemingly duplicate block numbers. Tabulation block numbers are still assigned by using standard
block groups, not the tribal block groups. To better identify tribal block groups, the letter code range A through K (except
I, which could be confused with a number 1) is used uniquely within each tribal census tract. The boundaries of tribal block
groups and tribal census tracts are those delineated through the Tribal Statistical Areas Program (TSAP) for the 2010 Census.;
