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

- Although we don't have specific information about the shape of the polygon for La Grange 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 La Grange, the latitude and longitude given by the Census Bureau actually indicates the GPS location of the polygon for La Grange.

- The difference indicates that the U.S. Census Bureau moved the location of the polygon for the 2010 Census 4,606 feet to the west<3> 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 (#1567678) to La Grange. This identifier also marks a GPS point on the map, and that point lies within the boundaries of La Grange. The GNIS point has been mapped to the latitude/longitude:
- Lat: 42.803068° (or 42°48'11" N)
- Lon: -88.589268° (or -88°35'21" W)

- The US Postal Service ZIP Code ...
- While some people have used a ZIP code to identify a community, the purpose of the ZIP code was to make mail delivery more efficient by grouping addresses together. Although the ZIP Code doesn't specifically identify a community like La Grange, it does identify addresses that are in (or near) La Grange. It's important to remember that the boundaries of a ZIP Code can be changed, re-assigned or overlapped with other ZIP Codes.
- The ZIP code for La Grange:53190<5>
- Census ZCTA Codes ...
- The US Census Bureau created statistical entities that they call ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) and these ZCTAs are frequently confused with the ZIP codes that come from the US Postal Service (USPS).
- ZCTAs were first created for the 2000 Census and at that time, they were based upon the USPS ZIP codes. While largely covering the same areas, the boundaries of a ZCTA do not necessarily match the boundaries of a postal ZIP code with the same number. For example, while a postal ZIP code can cross a county or state line, a Census ZCTA can not. They should be treated as separate entities with no correlation between them.
