It depends on context. Here are the common meanings of “geographic block”:
- Census block (most common): the smallest geographic unit used by the U.S. Census Bureau (and similar units in other countries). Blocks are bounded by streets, roads, railroads, waterways, and property lines; they’re used for fine-grained population and housing data. Several blocks make up block groups and tracts.
- City block / urban block: the land area bounded by streets in a town or city — the physical block of buildings you walk around.
- Geoblock / geoblocking: a content- or service-access restriction that prevents users in certain countries or regions from accessing resources (streaming, websites, apps) based on their geographic location.
- IP address block in geolocation: a contiguous range of IP addresses assigned or associated with a particular country/region; used by services to determine or restrict access by region.
Which of these did you mean, or can you give the context where you saw the term?
