Census-to-Census Observations ...

Introduction ...

When the Census Bureau takes a census count (or enumeration) for Lithium, 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 Lithium. 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 Lithium 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 Lithium, the latitude and longitude given by the Census Bureau actually indicates the GPS location of the polygon for Lithium.

  • Continue Reading ...
    • For the 2010 Census, the location was given as:
    • Lat:   37.832850°   (or 37°49'58" N)

    • For the 2000 Census, the location given was:

    • Lon:   -89.883862°   (or -89°53'1" W)
    • The difference indicates that the U.S. Census Bureau moved the location of the polygon for the 2010 Census 341.9 feet to the northwest<4> 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 (#2398452) to Lithium. This identifier also marks a GPS point on the map, and that point lies within the boundaries of Lithium. The GNIS point has been mapped to the latitude/longitude:
    • Lat:   37.832838°   (or 37°49'58" N)
    • Lon:   -89.884823°   (or -89°53'5" W)
