If I understand this, you want to graph the mean number of claims by month
for each census tract.
First generate the mean number of claims:
egen average_claim = mean(num_claims) by(census)
Sort variables so they are in the correct census and month order:
sort census month
graph:
by census: graph average_claim year, c(l)
