The Geographic Attribute File contains geographic data at the dissemination block level and the relationships to higher levels of geography. The file includes population and dwelling counts, land area, geographic codes, names, unique identifiers and, where applicable, types. Data for higher-level geographies and their relationship with lower-level geographies can be derived by
aggregating DB level data.

SGC concordance tables (xlsx) - These tables describe the changes to geographical classifications between Censuses
