Resource Abstract:
- description: The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) 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 shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire
nation. New England City and Town Area (NECTA) Divisions subdivide a NECTA containing a single core urban area that has a
population of at least 2.5 million to form smaller groupings of cities and towns. NECTA Divisions are defined by the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) and consist of a main city or town that represents an employment center, plus adjacent cities
and towns associated with the main city or town through commuting ties. Each NECTA Division must contain a total population
of 100,000 or more. Because NECTA Divisions represent subdivisions of larger NECTAs, it is not appropriate to rank or compare
NECTA Divisions with NECTAs. Not all NECTAs with urban areas of this size will contain NECTA Divisions. Boundaries are those
defined by OMB based on the 2010 Census, published in 2013, and updated in 2015.; abstract: The TIGER/Line shapefiles and
