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

- For the 2010 Census, the location was given as:
- Lat: 44.907169° (or 44°54'25" N)
- Lon: -89.418042° (or -89°25'4" W)
- For the 2000 Census, the location given was:
- Lat: 44.891444° (or 44°53'29" N)
- Lon: -89.427438° (or -89°25'38" W)
- The difference indicates that the U.S. Census Bureau moved the location of the polygon for the 2010 Census 6,225 feet to the north<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 (#1572328) to Ringle. This identifier also marks a GPS point on the map, and that point lies within the boundaries of Ringle. The GNIS point has been mapped to the latitude/longitude:
- Lat: 44.892470° (or 44°53'32" N)
- Lon: -89.421507° (or -89°25'17" W)
- The GPS location given for the 2010 Census lies 5,433 feet to the north<5> of the point given by the GNIS for Ringle. For more information about this and the relationship of the various Federal Codes, please visit our Misc Page for Ringle.
Miscellaneous Information for Ringle ...

- Place Code: 68050 (Ringle)

- State & Place Code: 55/68050 (Wisconsin / Ringle)
- Misc. Census Codes ...

- 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 Ringle, it does identify addresses that are in (or near) Ringle. 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 Ringle:54471<6>
- 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.

Footnotes ...
| <1> | 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. |
| <2> | 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. |

| <4> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to the 2010 Census location is 337 degrees and a distance of 6,225 feet. |
| <5> | The calculated bearing (or angle) to the GNIS point is 350 degrees and a distance of 5,433 feet. |
