Census-to-Census Observations ...

Introduction ...

When the Census Bureau takes a census count (or enumeration) for Metomen, 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 Metomen. 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 Metomen 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.
