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. Voting district is the generic name for geographic entities such as precincts, wards, and election
districts established by State governments for the purpose of conducting elections. States participating in the 2010 Census
Redistricting Data Program as part of Public Law 94-171 (1975) provided the Census Bureau with boundaries, codes, and names
for their VTDs. Each VTD is identified by a 1- to 6-character alphanumeric census code that is unique within county. For the
2010 Census, Rhode Island is the only State that did not participate in Phase 2 (the Voting District Project) of the Redistricting
Data Program and no VTDs exist for this State in the 2010 Census data products. Note that only Montana and Oregon do not have
complete coverage of VTDs for the 2010 Census.; abstract: The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf)
