These forms provide information on 135 census tracts in the City and County of Denver. The source for the 2000 data is the 2000 U.S. Census. Data for other years and from other sources is denoted by a label with the year (i.e. "99 Births"). For comparison purposes, data for the city as a whole is provided next to the census tract data in bold type. Since the data comes from a variety of sources, the Planning and Development Office cannot be responsible for the accuracy or limitations of the data. |
