Census-to-Census Observations ...
Introduction ...
When the Census Bureau takes a census count (or enumeration) for Florida, they start by specifying the boundaries of the area to be counted. This area (or sampling area) is a polygon and its shape can be quite complex - it may or may not match the geographical boundaries of Florida. It's important to note that from one Census to the next, the shape and location of the polygon can change.
- Continue Reading ...
- Although we don't have specific information about the shape of the polygon for Florida or how it changed has over time, there is some information that can give us some hints.
- If you need precision or details about the methodology of the Census, you should visit the U.S. Census Bureau for a definitive answer.
Area ...
The area (or polygon) given for the 2010 Census matches that given for the 2000 Census. It's likely that the same polygon was used for the two censuses.
Location ...
While generally coinciding with the GPS location (latitude/longitude) of Florida, the latitude and longitude given by the Census Bureau actually indicates the GPS location of the polygon for Florida.

- For the 2010 Census, the location was given as:
- Lat: 39.492654° (or 39°29'33" N)
- Lon: -91.790239° (or -91°47'24" W)
- For the 2000 Census, the location given was:
- Lat: 39.491712° (or 39°29'30" N)
- Lon: -91.789973° (or -91°47'23" W)
- The difference indicates that the U.S. Census Bureau moved the location of the polygon for the 2010 Census 351.5 feet to the north<5> of the location that was used in the 2000 Census.
- The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN) have assigned a unique GNIS identifier (#2398888) to Florida. This identifier also marks a GPS point on the map, and that point lies within the boundaries of Florida. The GNIS point has been mapped to the latitude/longitude:
- Lat: 39.492654° (or 39°29'33" N)
- Lon: -91.790238° (or -91°47'24" W)
- The GPS location given for the 2010 Census lies 0.78 feet to the south<6> of the point given by the GNIS for Florida. For more information about this and the relationship of the various Federal Codes, please visit our Misc Page for Florida.

Footnotes ...
| <1> | While we're fans and frequent users of TripAdvisor, you should know that we're also members of the TripAdvisor affiliate program. |
| <2> | The location has been supplied by the Geographic Names Information System - which is maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). While these values should be definitive, we found that accuracy can vary and you should double-check the location if accuracy is required. |
| <3> | An 'estimated' location is one where we have been given GPS coordinates, but are unable to verify the accuracy of those coordinates. That said, we have some confidence that we have placed the marker near the actual location. A typical reason for being unable to verify a location is that it might be on private property or maybe historic and gone without an obvious trace. |
