I am looking for the population density (e.g. persons per square mile) over all US census tracts. Would anyone be able to point me to a link to find this? I have spent many hours looking through the ACS and Census sites and am unable to find this data.
I alternatively would be able to compute population density by getting population count and area for all census tracts but am finding it hard to get the latter at the census tract level. Thanks!
IMHO both Bernie's and Joe's solutions are an overkill. You can get the land area and population count variables in the Census Planning Database -- https://www.census.gov/topics/research/guidance…
I used our MCDC Geocorr 2000 application to generate this list. The app is at https://mcdc.missouri.edu/applications/geocorr2000.html. Source geography is entire universe; target geography is 2000 tracts;…

You can get area for census tracts from the Census TIGER site: https://www.census.gov/geographies/mapping-files/time-series/geo/tiger-line-file.html (Unfortunately, tracts are only downloadable by state, so you'll have to have to download a bunch of files.)PolicyMap has population density at the tract level, though you need to be a subscriber to download the data (though you may have access through a university if you're affiliated): https://plcy.mp/xDLxtjG
whoops, forgot you can't reply to this board via email...
