While the census does not specifically identify individuals that fall in to a category the potential data obtained from tracking the number of blind people can be used to determine funding for various programs and services as census data is broken down in to cdensus tracts which are the equivalent of a neighborhood or section of a city. Documentation and funding for many social service programs is determined by census tract. This especially holds true for such Federal programs as CDBG or Community Development Block Grant fudns that are administered through the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
