PDF form. Go to the US Census Bureau 2010 Census Tracts(Places) page. Select the State, Select the county on the page that pops up. Or,

Options for City Name Field
Use Target Name in City Field
| Segment is listed in appraisers maps as the city name for multiple parcels. Please Use this target name in the city field. |
