Census blocks are relatively small in area; for example, a block in a city bounded by streets. However, census blocks in remote areas are often large and irregular and may even be many square miles in area. A common misunderstanding is that data users think census blocks are used geographically to build all other census geographic areas, rather all other census geographic areas are updated and then used as the primary constraints, along with roads and water features, to delineate the tabulation blocks. As a result, all 2020 Census blocks nest within every other 2020 Census geographic area, so that Census Bureau statistical data can be tabulated at the block level and aggregated up to the appropriate geographic areas. Census blocks cover all territory in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which the Census Bureau publishes data from the decennial census. A block may consist of one or more faces.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:6px; font-size:16px; padding-bottom:1em; font-family:&quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Arial, sans-serif;'><font size='3' style='font-family:inherit;'>2020 Census population figures provided with the tab blocks are subjected to statistical adjustment by the Disclosure Avoidance System (DAS) to protect individual privacy of survey respondents.
