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. School Districts are single-purpose administrative units within which local officials provide public educational services
for the area's residents. The Census Bureau obtains the boundaries, names, local education agency codes, grade ranges,
and school district levels for school districts from State officials for the primary purpose of providing the U.S. Department
of Education with estimates of the number of children in poverty within each school district. This information serves as the
basis for the Department of Education to determine the annual allocation of Title I funding to States and school districts.
TIGER/Line Shapefiles include separate shapefiles for elementary, secondary and unified school districts. The school district
boundaries are those in effect for the 2013-2014 school year.; abstract: The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files
