When the Census Bureau takes a census count (or enumeration) for Grand Rapids, 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 Grand Rapids. It's important to note that from one Census to the next, the shape and location of the polygon can change.
