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 purpose of this file is to provide the geography for the 2010 Census Blocks along with their
2010 housing unit count and population. Census Blocks are statistical areas bounded on all sides by visible features, such
as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and/or by nonvisible boundaries such as city, town, township, and county
limits, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads. Blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which the Census
Bureau publishes data from the decennial census. A block may consist of one or more facesOther sections: Spatial Data Organization:

Technical Prerequisites: The TIGER/Line shapefiles contain geographic data only and do not include display mapping software
or statistical data. For information on how to use the TIGER/Line shapefile data with specific software package users shall
contact the company that produced the software.
description TIGER/Line Shapefiles are extracted from the Census MAF/TIGER database by nation, state, county, and entity. Census MAF/TIGER
data for all of the aforementioned geographic entities are then distributed among the shapefiles each containing attributes
for line, polygon, or landmark geographic data.

Completeness Omission
evaluation Method Description
Data completeness of the TIGER/Line Shapefiles reflects the contents of the Census MAF/TIGER database at the time the TIGER/Line
Shapefiles were created.
ConceptualConsistency
measure Description
The Census Bureau performed automated tests to ensure logical consistency and limits of shapefiles. Segments making up the
outer and inner boundaries of a polygon tie end-to-end to completely enclose the area. All polygons are tested for closure.The
Census Bureau uses its internally developed geographic update system to enhance and modify spatial and attribute data in the
Census MAF/TIGER database. Standard geographic codes, such as FIPS codes for states, counties, municipalities, county subdivisions,
places, American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian areas, and congressional districts are used when encoding spatial entities.
The Census Bureau performed spatial data tests for logical consistency of the codes during the compilation of the original
Census MAF/TIGER database files. Most of the codes for geographic entities except states, counties, urban areas, Core Based
Statistical Areas (CBSAs), American Indian Areas (AIAs), and congressional districts were provided to the Census Bureau by
the USGS, the agency responsible for maintaining FIPS 55. Feature attribute information has been examined but has not been
fully tested for consistency.For the TIGER/Line Shapefiles, the Point and Vector Object Count for the G-polygon SDTS Point
and Vector Object Type reflects the number of records in the shapefile attribute table. For multi-polygon features, only one
attribute record exists for each multi-polygon rather than one attribute record per individual G-polygon component of the
multi-polygon feature. TIGER/Line Shapefile multi-polygons are an exception to the G-polygon object type classification. Therefore,
when multi-polygons exist in a shapefile, the object count will be less than the actual number of G-polygons.
