Resource Abstract:
- description: The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) (NTAD) that are an extract of selected
geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated
Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps
or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be
combined to cover the entire nation. Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas are together termed Core Based Statistical
Areas (CBSAs) and are defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and consist of the county or counties or equivalent
entities associated with at least one urban core (urbanized area or urban cluster) of at least 10,000 population, plus adjacent
counties having a high degree of social and economic integration with the core as measured through commuting ties with the
counties containing the core. Categories of CBSAs are: Metropolitan Statistical Areas, based on urbanized areas of 50,000
or more population, and Micropolitan Statistical Areas, based on urban clusters of at least 10,000 population but less than
50,000 population. The CBSAs for the 2010 Census are those defined by OMB and published in December 2009.; abstract: The TIGER/Line
