Resource Abstract:
- description: TIGER, TIGER/Line, and Census TIGER are registered trademarks of the Bureau of the Census. The Redistricting
Census 2000 TIGER/Line files are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the Census TIGER data
base. The geographic coverage for a single TIGER/Line file is a county or statistical equivalent entity, with the coverage
area based on January 1, 2000 legal boundaries. A complete set of Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files includes all
counties and statistically equivalent entities in the United States and Puerto Rico. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line
files will not include files for the Island Areas. The Census TIGER data base represents a seamless national file with no
overlaps or gaps between parts. However, each county-based TIGER/Line file is designed to stand alone as an independent data
set or the files can be combined to cover the whole Nation. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files consist of line
segments representing physical features and governmental and statistical boundaries. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line
files do NOT contain the ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) and the address ranges are of approximately the same vintage as
those appearing in the 1999 TIGER/Line files. That is, the Census Bureau is producing the Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line
files in advance of the computer processing that will ensure that the address ranges in the TIGER/Line files agree with the
final Master Address File (MAF) used for tabulating Census 2000. The files contain information distributed over a series of
record types for the spatial objects of a county. There are 17 record types, including the basic data record, the shape coordinate
points, and geographic codes that can be used with appropriate software to prepare maps. Other geographic information contained
in the files includes attributes such as feature identifiers/census feature class codes (CFCC) used to differentiate feature
types, address ranges and ZIP Codes, codes for legal and statistical entities, latitude/longitude coordinates of linear and
point features, landmark point features, area landmarks, key geographic features, and area boundaries. The Redistricting Census
2000 TIGER/Line data dictionary contains a complete list of all the fields in the 17 record types.; abstract: TIGER, TIGER/Line,
