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. The primary legal divisions of most States are termed counties. In Louisiana, these divisions
are known as parishes. In Alaska, which has no counties, the equivalent entities are the organized boroughs, city and boroughs,
and municipalities, and for the unorganized area, census areas. The latter are delineated cooperatively for statistical purposes
by the State of Alaska and the Census Bureau. In four States (Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia), there are one or
more incorporated places that are independent of any county organization and thus constitute primary divisions of their States.
These incorporated places are known as independent cities and are treated as equivalent entities for purposes of data presentation.
The District of Columbia and Guam have no primary divisions, and each area is considered an equivalent entity for purposes
of data presentation. The Census Bureau treats the following entities as equivalents of counties for purposes of data presentation:
Municipios in Puerto Rico, Districts and Islands in American Samoa, Municipalities in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, and Islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The entire area of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas is
covered by counties or equivalent entities. The 2010 Census boundaries for counties and equivalent entities are as of January
1, 2010, primarily as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). This table contains
housing data derived from the U.S. Census 2010 Summary file 1 database for counties. The 2010 Summary File 1 (SF 1) contains
data compiled from the 2010 Decennial Census questions. This table contains data on housing units, owner and rental. This
table contains population data derived from the U.S. Census 2010 Summary file 1 database for counties. The 2010 Summary File
1 (SF 1) contains data compiled from the 2010 Decennial Census questions. This table contains data on ancestry, age, and sex.;
