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. The Address Ranges Relationship File (ADDR.dbf) contains the attributes of each address range. Each address range
applies to a single edge and has a unique address range identifier (ARID) value. The edge to which an address range applies
can be determined by linking the address range to the All Lines Shapefile (EDGES.shp) using the permanent topological edge
identifier (TLID) attribute. Multiple address ranges can apply to the same edge since an edge can have multiple address ranges.
Note that the most inclusive address range associated with each side of a street edge already appears in the All Lines Shapefile
(EDGES.shp). The TIGER/Line Shapefiles contain potential address ranges, not individual addresses. The term "address
range" refers to the collection of all possible structure numbers from the first structure number to the last structure
number and all numbers of a specified parity in between along an edge side relative to the direction in which the edge is
coded. The address ranges in the TIGER/Line Shapefiles are potential ranges that include the full range of possible structure
numbers even though the actual structures may not exist.; abstract: The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf)
