2000 Census Urban Areas for Sandoval County, New Mexico, 2006se TIGER
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
The 2006 Second Edition TIGER/Line files are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the Census
TIGER database. The geographic coverage for a single TIGER/Line file is a county or statistical equivalent entity, with the
coverage area based on the latest available governmental unit boundaries. The Census TIGER database 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 2006 Second Edition TIGER/Line files
consist of line segments representing physical features and governmental and statistical boundaries. This shapefile represents
the 2000 Census Urban Areas for Sandoval County stored in the 2006 TIGER Second Edition dataset.

Additional information on resource:
The TIGER/Line data are not in a mapping projection even though most of the features were scanned directly from source maps
that were in a projection. To find out more about TIGER/Line files and other Census TIGER database derived data sets visit
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger. This shapefile was created by using the conversion tool TGR2SHP version 7.0. The shapefile
was projection defined using ArcCatalog v 9.2.

description In order for others to use the information in the Census TIGER database in a GIS or for other geographic applications, the
Census Bureau releases periodic extracts of selected information from the Census TIGER database, 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 database by county or statistical equivalent area.
Census TIGER data for a given county or statistical equivalent area is then distributed among 19 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 (feature and feature names, address
ranges and ZIP Codes, coordinate updates, revised field definitions, etc.) than the previous version. For an understanding
of the CFCC Codes see the Census Bureau's TIGER report:http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tiger2006se/TGR06SE.pdf

measure Description
The feature network of lines (as represented by Record Types 1 and 2) is complete 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: (1) Complete chains must begin and end at nodes. (2)
Complete chains must connect to each other at nodes. (3) Complete chains do not extend through nodes. (4) Left and right GT-polygons
are defined for each complete chain element and are consistent throughout the extract process. (5) 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 database. Standard geographic codes, such as FIPS codes
for states, counties, municipalities, county subdivisions, places, American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian areas, and
congressional districts 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 database files. Most of the codes for all geographic
entities except states, counties, and congressional districts 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.
