How can I obtain latitude and longitude numbers for census tracts? I would think that this lat/long address would be the centerpoint for the census tract.
You can get from MCDC, here: https://mcdc.missouri.edu/cgi-bin/broker?_PROGRAM=utils.uex2dex.sas&path=/data/gazeteer&dset=ustracts2021&view=0
Make sure to "keep all columns" in Section 3, then just extract data.
