Description: The National Center for Education Statistics’ (NCES) Education Demographic and Geographic Estimate (EDGE) program develops annually updated point locations (latitude and longitude) for public elementary and secondary schools included in the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD). The CCD is an annual collection of basic administrative characteristics that includes the physical address for all public schools, school districts, and state education agencies in the United States. The NCES EDGE program collaborates with the U.S. Census Bureau’s Education Demographic, Geographic, and Economic Statistics (EDGE) Branch to develop point locations for schools and school district administrative offices based on these addresses. The point locations in this data layer were developed from the 2023-2024 CCD collection. For more information about NCES school point data, see: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/edge/Geographic/SchoolLocations.All information contained in this file is in the public domain. Data users are advised to review NCES program documentation and feature class metadata to understand the limitations and appropriate use of these data.
Description: U.S. Block Groups provide detailed boundaries that are consistent with the tract and county datasets and are effective at the national level. This dataset provides four feature classes. The base feature class is called BlockGroups_bg. The centroids feature class is called BlockGroups_bg_cent. The BlockGroups_bg and BlockGroups_bg_cent feature classes contain all the attributes. There are two generalized boundary feature classes and called: BlockGroups_bg_gen2 and BlockGroups_bg_gen3. Use the generalized boundaries when creating study areas.
