The Economic Census includes the Censuses of Retail Trade, Wholesale Trade, Manufactures, Service Industries, Construction Industries, Mineral Industries, and Transportation, along with the Enterprise Statistics Program and the Minority and Women-Owned Businesses Program.
The Census of Governments reports data for school districts and other special-purpose districts in addition to the geographic entities in the diagram above (except for ZIP Codes). These may exist at various levels of the hierarchy. The Census of Governments includes as places only incorporated places.
Unlike the Economic and Governments Censuses, the Agriculture Census does not provide data for places or MCDs. It does report data for special-purpose entities that may exist at various levels of the hierarchy.
