- Abstract The TIGER/Line Shapefiles are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the Census MAF/TIGER database.
The Census MAF/TIGER database 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 the shapefiles can be combined to cover the whole nation.
- Purpose In order for others to use the information in the Census MAF/TIGER database in a geographic information system (GIS) or for
other geographic applications, the Census Bureau releases to the public extracts of the database in the form of TIGER/Line
Shapefiles.

of the TIGER/Line Shapefiles. Future releases of TIGER/Line Shapefiles will reflect updates made to the Census MAF/TIGER
database.

Data Quality Information
- Attribute Accuracy Report
-
- Report Accurate against Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), FIPS Publication 6-4, and FIPS-55 at the 100% level for
the codes and base names. The remaining attribute information has been examined but has not been fully tested for accuracy.
- Quantitative Attribute Accuracy Assessment
-
- Attribute Accuracy Value
- Attribute Accuracy Explanation
- Logical Consistency Report 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.
- Completeness Report 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.

- Process Step
-
- Process Description TIGER/Line Shapefiles are extracted from the Census MAF/TIGER database by nation, state, county, and entity. Census MAF/TIGER
data for the nation, state, county, and entity are then distributed among 58 shapefiles each containing attributes for line,
polygon, or landmark geographic data.
