Resource Abstract:
TIGER, TIGER/Line, and Census TIGER are registered trademarks of the Bureau of the Census. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line
files are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the Census TIGER data base. The geographic coverage
for a single TIGER/Line file is a county or statistical equivalent entity, with the coverage area based on January 1, 2000
legal boundaries. A complete set of Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files includes all counties and statistically equivalent
entities in the United States and Puerto Rico. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files will not include files for the
Island Areas. The Census TIGER data base represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts. However,
each county-based TIGER/Line file is designed to stand alone as an independent data set or the files can be combined to cover
the whole Nation. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files consist of line segments representing physical features and
governmental and statistical boundaries. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files do NOT contain the ZIP Code Tabulation
Areas (ZCTAs) and the address ranges are of approximately the same vintage as those appearing in the 1999 TIGER/Line files.
That is, the Census Bureau is producing the Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files in advance of the computer processing
that will ensure that the address ranges in the TIGER/Line files agree with the final Master Address File (MAF) used for tabulating
Census 2000. The files contain information distributed over a series of record types for the spatial objects of a county.
There are 17 record types, including the basic data record, the shape coordinate points, and geographic codes that can be
used with appropriate software to prepare maps. Other geographic information contained in the files includes attributes such
as feature identifiers/census feature class codes (CFCC) used to differentiate feature types, address ranges and ZIP Codes,
codes for legal and statistical entities, latitude/longitude coordinates of linear and point features, landmark point features,
area landmarks, key geographic features, and area boundaries. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line data dictionary contains
a complete list of all the fields in the 17 record types.

purpose:
In order for others to use the information in the Census TIGER data base in a geographic information system (GIS) or for other
geographic applications, the Census Bureau releases to the public extracts of the data base in the form of TIGER/Line files.
Various versions of the TIGER/Line files have been released; previous versions include the 1990 Census TIGER/Line files, the
1992 TIGER/Line files, the 1994 TIGER/Line files, the 1995 TIGER/Line files, the 1997 TIGER/Line files, the 1998 TIGER/Line
files, and the 1999 TIGER/Line files. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files were originally produced to support the
Census 2000 Redistricting Data Program.

description In order for others to use the information in the Census TIGER data base in a GIS or for other geographic applications, the
Census Bureau releases periodic extracts of selected information from the Census TIGER data base, organized as topologically
consistent networks. Software (TIGER DB routines) written by the Geography Division allows for efficient access to Census
TIGER system data. TIGER/Line files are extracted from the Census TIGER data base by county or statistical equivalent area.
Census TIGER data for a given county or statistical equivalent area is then distributed among 17 fixed length record ASCII
files, each one containing attributes for either line, polygon, or landmark geographic data types. The Census Bureau has released
various versions of the TIGER/Line files since 1988, with each version having more updates of the attributes than the previous
version.

measure Description
The feature network of lines (as represented by Record Types 1 and 2) is compete for census purposes. Spatial objects in TIGER/Line
belong to the "Geometry and Topology" (GT) class of objects in the "Spatial Data Transfer Standard" (SDTS) FIPS Publication
173 and are topologically valid. Node/geometry and topology (GT)-polygon/chain relationships are collected or generated to
satisfy topological edit requirements. These requirements include: * Complete chains must begin and end at nodes. * Complete
chains must connect to each other at nodes. * Complete chains do not extend through nodes. * Left and right GT-polygons are
defined for each complete chain element and are consistent throughout the extract process. * the chains representing the limits
of the files are free of gaps. The Census Bureau performed automated tests to ensure logical consistency and limits of files.
All polygons are tested for closure. The Census Bureau uses its internally developed Geographic Update System to enhance and
modify spatial and attribute data in the Census TIGER data base. Standard geographic codes, such as FIPS codes for states,
counties, municipalities, and places, are used when encoding spatial entities. The Census Bureau performed spatial data tests
for logical consistency of the codes during the compilation of the original Census TIGER data base files. Most of the Codes
themselves were provided to the Census Bureau by the USGS, the agency responsible for maintaining FIPS 55. Feature attribute
information has been examined but has not been fully tested for consistency.
