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. The primary legal
divisions of most states are termed counties. In Louisiana, these divisions are known as
parishes. In Alaska, which has no counties, the equivalent entities are the organized
boroughs, city and boroughs, municipalities, and for the unorganized area, census areas. The
latter are delineated cooperatively for statistical purposes by the State of Alaska and the
Census Bureau. In four states (Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia), there are one or
more incorporated places that are independent of any county organization and thus constitute
primary divisions of their states. These incorporated places are known as independent cities
and are treated as equivalent entities for purposes of data presentation. The District of
Columbia and Guam have no primary divisions, and each area is considered an equivalent
entity for purposes of data presentation. The Census Bureau treats the following entities as
equivalents of counties for purposes of data presentation: Municipios in Puerto Rico,
Districts and Islands in American Samoa, Municipalities in the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, and Islands in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The entire area of the United
States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas is covered by counties or equivalent entities. The
boundaries for counties and equivalent entities are as of January 1, 2018, primarily as
reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS).
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.

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.
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.
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.

The selected geographic and cartographic information (line segments) are derived
from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File Topologically Integrated Geographic
Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) database.
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.
