A discrepancy in the total number of Census Tracts comparing:
This analysis only includes Census Tracts within the 50 states and DC.
For the 50 states + DC, there are:

Hi CJ--
The 74K numbers sounds a lot like the number of tracts up to 2020. You should check and see if the supposed 2021 tracts actually match the 2019, which are the 2010 tracts with a few edits.

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for your response.
I need the Shapefiles to calculate the Census Tract centroids, and this is the only source for the Shapefiles that I can find:
www2.census.gov/.../
The TIGER2021 Shapefiles yield the 84414 Census Tracts mentioned above.
I’m seeking a better source for the latest Census Tract Shapefiles, if the link above is the wrong one.
Thank you,
That repository at www2.census.gov/.../ stores 2021 shapefiles. You can generally get to any other years' shapefiles just by changing the year in that URL. So to get 2019 shapefiles, use www2.census.gov/.../.
