The data can be downloaded here:

A direct link would be best though.

But this is all of MA's census tracts, and the CRS is not the one used by MassGIS. I don't see a need for all of the tracts or using the US-wide CRS.

Definition of done: A python script to fetch the file, remove the unneeded tracts, then update the CRS and push to a DVC repo. Tag the ETL repo with tracts-v1 after the merge into main.
