Resource Abstract:
- description: The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) 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. Traffic analysis zones (TAZs) are basic spatial units of analysis facilitating the ability of
transportation planners to forecast changes in commuting patterns, trip volumes, and modes of travel, and to develop plans
to meet the changing demands for transportation facilities and capacities. Each TAZ represents an area containing similar
kinds of land use and commuter travel.; abstract: The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that
