Census block groups represent the block group areas in Indiana for the decennial census. These areas are not legal boundaries, but are considered stable geographic units used for the presentation of decennial census data.
The data used in the development of this study was extracted from the two sources listed below. However, zoning information was extracted from the Planning Department of the City of Columbus, Indiana.
