Description: This layer contains Places of Worship in Massachusetts, including churches, synagogues, and mosques. Places appearing in this layer are those overseen by the Massachusetts Council of Churches, Massachusetts Roman Catholic Dioceses, Synagogue Council of MA, or Islamic Council of New England. MassGIS generated the dataset by address-matching (geocoding) place of worship data. Whenever possible, development locations were manually refined using the most current Google Imagery. Internet sources were also used to refine locations.

Description: Voting precincts for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Established based on the 2020 Decennial Census by each municipality and approved by the Local Election Districts Review Commission (LEDRC) in accordance with state law.These data reflect the statewide change in population for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts based on the 2020 Decennial Census and the new precinct and ward lines established by each municipality and reviewed and approved by the Local Election Districts Review Commission (LEDRC) in accordance with the procedures set forth in state law. The dataset represents those precincts and wards approved by the LEDRC being passed to the State Legislature for Redistricting.

Description: The household language assigned to the housing unit is the non-English language spoken by the first person with a non-English language in the following order: reference person, spouse, parent, sibling, child, grandchild, in-law, other relative, unmarried partner, housemate/roommate, roomer/boarder, foster child, or other nonrelative. If no member of the household age 5 and over speaks a language other than English at home then the household language is English only.<o:p></o:p>A "limited English speaking household" is one in which no member 14 years old and over (1) speaks only English or (2) speaks a non-English language and speaks English "very well." In other words, all members 14 years old and over have at least some difficulty with English. By definition, English-only households cannot belong to this group. Previous Census Bureau data products have referred to these households as "linguistically isolated" and "Households in which no one 14 and over speaks English only or speaks a language other than English at home and speaks English 'very well'." This table is directly comparable to tables from earlier years that used these labels.<o:p></o:p>Supporting documentation on code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing can be found on the American Community Survey website here.<o:p></o:p>Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see this web page. The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.

Block groups with a total population of fewer than 50 were removed.2. 228 2020 block groups have no MHHI in 2020 ACS table.130 of these did have a value in the 2019 ACS table so the 2019 BG MHHIand PCT BG MHHI(so the 2019 value for MA MHHI is used) were transferred to 130 BGs in the 2020 update. Those BGs are coded with ‘1’ in BG_MHHI_is_2019 This leaves 96 block groups with an unknown and not substituted 2020 BG MHHI5 of these are in towns with a muni MHHI > 150% of the MA MHHI. These are not designated as EJ.43 of the remaining are designated as EJ with the M and/or E criteria16 of the remaining have a population in EJ group quarters > 50%16 of the remaining have a total population < 50This leaves 16 block groups that may be EJ for income but no data are available to determine this. These are coded as EJ = No and median_household_income= ‘U’.
Description: 2020 Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or equivalent entity, and are reviewed and updated by local participants prior to each decennial census as part of the Census Bureau’s Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP). The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the presentation of decennial census data.Census tracts generally have a total population size between 1,200 and 8,000 people with an optimum size of 4,000 people. The spatial size of census tracts varies widely depending on the density of settlement. Ideally, census tract boundaries remain stable over time to facilitate statistical comparisons from census to census. However, physical changes in street patterns caused by highway construction, new development, and so forth, may require boundary revisions. In addition, significant changes in population may result in splitting or combining census tracts. State and county boundaries always are census tract boundaries in the standard census geographic hierarchy, but tracts can cross the same kinds of boundaries that block groups can. Census tract numbers have up to a 4-character basic number and may have an optional 2-character suffix. The census tract numbers (used as names) eliminate any leading zeroes and append a suffix only if required. The 6-digit census tract codes, however, include leading zeroes and have an implied decimal point for the suffix. Census tract codes (000100 to 998999) are unique within a county or equivalent area.

Description: 2020 Census tabulation blocks are polygons representing the smallest statistical areas used by the Census Bureau to compile and present demographics. They can be used in conjunction with associated Census demographics for visual presentation of those demographics and analysis. MassGIS acquired this data from the Census Bureau's website, projected it into Massachusetts State Plane NAD83 (meters), incorporated a generalized coastline, and added a few extra attributes to facilitate anticipated user needs.

Description: 2020 Census block groups are clusters of blocks within the same census tract that have the same first digit of their 4-digit census block number; that first digit is the block group number. Block group numbers have a valid range of zero (0) through nine (9). Block groups beginning with a zero generally are in coastal and Great Lakes water and territorial seas. A block group usually covers a contiguous area. Each census tract contains one or more block groups and block groups have unique numbers within a census tract. Within the standard census geographic hierarchy, block groups never cross county or census tract boundaries, but may cross the boundaries of county subdivisions, places, urban areas, voting districts, congressional districts, and AIANNH areas. Block groups delineated for the 2020 Census generally contain 600 to 3,000 people.
