Orange County, FL -- 2010 & 1960 Census Tracts; 1940 Precincts & Enumeration Districts

The following table provides an approximate match-up of the 2010 census tracts with the geographic boundaries of the 1960 census tracts, 1940 precincts and 1940 enumeration districts. The borders usually do not match precisely; in most cases the earlier geography has been divided into multiple 2010 census tracts. The intent in providing this table is to assist researchers in identifying approximate areas within the county. [Table is under construction]
