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.
In order for others to use the information in the Census TIGER data base in a geographic information system (GIS) or for other geographic applications, the Census Bureau releases to the public extracts of the data base in the form of
TIGER/Line files. Various versions of the TIGER/Line files have been released; previous versions include the 1990 Census TIGER/Line files, the 1992 TIGER/Line files, the 1994 TIGER/Line files, the 1995 TIGER/Line files, the 1997 TIGER/Line files, the 1998 TIGER/Line files, and the 1999 TIGER/Line files. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files were originally produced to support the Census 2000 Redistricting Data Program.

Entity and Attribute Information
http
The TIGER/Line files contain data describing three major
types of features/entities;
Line Features -
1) Roads
2) Railroads
3) Hydrography
4) Miscellaneous transportation features and selected power lines and pipe lines
5) Political and statistical boundaries
Landmark Features -
1) Point landmarks, e.g., schools and churches.
2) Area landmarks, e.g., Parks and cemeteries.
3) Key geographic locations (KGLs), e.g., shopping centers and factories.
Polygon features -
1) Geographic entity codes for areas used to tabulate the Census 2000 census
statistical data and 1990 geographic areas
2) Locations of area landmarks
3) Locations of KGLs
The line features and polygon information form the majority of data in the TIGER/Line
files. Some of the data/attributes describing the lines include coordinates, feature
identifiers (names), CFCCs (used to identify the most noticeable characteristic of a
feature), address ranges, and geographic entity codes. The TIGER/Line files contain
point and area labels that describe landmark features and provide locational reference.
Area landmarks consist of a feature name or label and feature type assigned to a polygon
or group of polygons. Landmarks may overlap or refer to the same set of polygons.
The Census TIGER data base uses collections of spatial objects (points, lines, and
polygons) to model or describe real-world geography. The Census Bureau uses these
spatial objects to represent features such as streets, rivers, and political boundaries
and assigns attributes to these features to identify and describe specific features
such as the 500 block of Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The feature network of lines (as represented by Record Types 1 and 2) is compete
for census purposes. Spatial objects in TIGER/Line belong to the "Geometry and
Topology" (GT) class of objects in the "Spatial Data Transfer Standard" (SDTS)
FIPS Publication 173 and are topologically valid. Node/geometry and topology
(GT)-polygon/chain relationships are collected or generated to satisfy topological
edit requirements. These requirements include:
* Complete chains must begin and end at nodes.
* Complete chains must connect to each other at nodes.
* Complete chains do not extend through nodes.
* Left and right GT-polygons are defined for each complete chain element and are
consistent throughout the extract process.
* the chains representing the limits of the files are free of gaps.
The Census Bureau performed automated tests to ensure logical consistency and limits
of files. 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 TIGER data base. Standard geographic codes, such as FIPS codes for states,
counties, municipalities, and places, 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 TIGER data base files. Most of the Codes
themselves 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.
