Current Address Count Listing Files

The files are updated biannually and include total housing units (including transitory units) and total group quarters counts as of January 2024, by current tabulation block. These files are created for all 50 States, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Island Areas and were released January 2024.

File Naming Convention 

These pipe delimited text files are named using the following convention: <st>_<name>_AddressBlockCountList_<mm><yyyy>.txt,  where:

  • <st> = Two-digit state FIPS code
  • <name> = Concatenated state (or equivalent) name
  • <mm> = Two-digit month the file was created
  • <yyyy> = Four-digit year the file was created 

An example file name is: 

44_RhodeIsland_AddressBlockCountList_122023.txt

TRACT

The census tract number consists of six digits with an implied decimal between the fourth and fifth digits corresponding to the basic census tract number but with leading zeroes and trailing zeroes for census tracts without a suffix.
