Puerto Rico
A school district geographic boundary from TIGER 2023 was added for Puerto Rico. However, as Puerto Rico has one school district, it does not appear in the geographic scale in ArcGIS products. See School District geographic boundaries and the Esri 2024 U.S. Demographics Release Notes (PDF) for more information.
United States
Esri 2024 U.S. Demographics are available for 14 geographic levels including all standard Census geographic levels (states, counties, census tracts, and block groups) as well as Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs), Designated Market Areas (DMAs), Congressional Districts (CDs), Places, County Subdivisions (CSDs), School Districts, and residential ZIP codes.
School District geographic boundaries
Geographic boundaries for School Districts have been added for the United States, including Elementary, Secondary, and Unified School Districts. School districts are geographic areas designated by local and state officials to organize and manage public education. In many parts of the country, school districts align with place or county boundaries. See the Esri 2024 U.S. Demographics Release Notes (PDF) for more information. For more information about school district boundaries, see the United States Census Bureau Updated School District Boundaries Technical Documentation on the U.S. Census website.
Urbanicity Type data
Esri Urbanicity Type data is a land-based classification system that designates every U.S. Census block into one of 10 urbanicity categories. See the Esri 2024 U.S. Demographics Release Notes (PDF) for more information.
