In legal terms, a tract refers to a defined area of land, typically characterised by specific boundaries or measurements. Tracts may vary in size and shape, ranging from small parcels to large expanses of land.

The term “tract” may also be used in reference to a particular geographical area or region, especially in contexts such as census data or political divisions. Overall, a tract serves as a convenient and precise way to identify and refer to distinct portions of land for various legal, administrative, and planning purposes.
