Overview › Geography
Geography first: Tract 426 is not all of Armourdale
Official identifier: 20209042600 (Kansas 20 · Wyandotte 209 · tract code 042600). The current Census TIGERweb polygon and the Census 2026 tract table agree on 1,918,456 m² of land, no water area: approximately 0.741 square mile / 474 acres. ZIP 66105 is a useful search term, not an equivalent boundary.
For orientation, the tract runs west of S 7th Street Trafficway, with a stepped northern edge along Kansas Avenue and the rail-side edge farther north; much of its western side follows S 14th Street, with a southwest extension. Its southern edge follows the rail alignment south of Pawnee. The geometry below and downloadable coordinates, not this street shorthand, define the tract.

| Boundary / usage | How it differs and how it is handled |
|---|---|
| Census Tract 426 | Exact official polygon: 474 acres. Used for inside/outside flags, not as an automatic eligibility rule. |
| UG Armourdale Area Master Plan / planning-team maps | Approximately 2,000-acre planning district, including much more industrial and river/levee territory. The planning description places rail tracks to the north and the Kansas River to the south. It extends beyond the tract, including east-of-7th industrial/Armourdale Parkway territory. It is a planning boundary, not a Census tract. |
| Real-estate neighborhood guide | Homes.com groups Armourdale with ZIP labels 66101, 66102, 66105 and 66118 and discusses nearby destinations outside the tract. Its “nearby” amenities are not converted into in-tract services. A reusable real-estate polygon was not retrieved, so exact parcel-by-parcel differences remain unresolved. |
| Resident / organization usage | ARA uses “Armourdale” for its neighborhood mission while its 801 Armourdale Parkway office geocodes to Tract 9809. Residents and local press describe neighborhood relationships across institutional boundaries. This is a documented mismatch, not a reason to exclude ARA. |
| Nextdoor / other informal maps | Armourdale public preview exists, but its account-defined neighborhood boundary is not verified against TIGER. Platform population/homeownership summaries are not used as tract estimates. |

The reverse case also matters: Cross-Lines is inside the tract, but its market serves Wyandotte County and its kitchen offers broader meal access. An in-tract address does not imply an Armourdale-only catchment. Locations that were not individually geocoded are labeled accordingly.
