In order to find the pages of the census that correspond to a given area, you need to find the area’s enumeration district (ED). An enumeration district does not correspond to neighborhood boundaries. Rather, it is an area covered by a single census taker in one census period. Enumeration districts vary in size from several city blocks in densely populated urban areas to an entire county in sparsely populated rural areas.
