The MTDB represents\n 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\n set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation.\n\n Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or equivalent entity, and were defined by local participants as part\n of the 2010 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program. The Census Bureau delineated the census tracts in situations where no local participant\n existed or where all the potential participants declined to participate. The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic\n units for the presentation of census data and comparison back to previous decennial censuses. Census tracts generally have a population size between\n 1,200 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. When first delineated, census tracts were designed to be homogeneous with respect to\n population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions. The spatial size of census tracts varies widely depending on the density of\n settlement. Physical changes in street patterns caused by highway construction, new development, and so forth, may require boundary revisions. In\n addition, census tracts occasionally are split due to population growth, or combined as a result of substantial population decline. Census tract\n boundaries generally follow visible and identifiable features. They may follow legal boundaries such as minor civil division (MCD) or incorporated place\n boundaries in some States and situations to allow for census tract-to-governmental unit relationships where the governmental boundaries tend to remain\n unchanged between censuses. State and county boundaries always are census tract boundaries in the standard census geographic hierarchy. In a few rare\n instances, a census tract may consist of noncontiguous areas. These noncontiguous areas may occur where the census tracts are coextensive with all or\n parts of legal entities that are themselves noncontiguous. For the 2010 Census, the census tract code range of 9400 through 9499 was enforced for census\n tracts that include a majority American Indian population according to Census 2000 data and/or their area was primarily covered by federally recognized\n American Indian reservations and/or off-reservation trust lands; the code range 9800 through 9899 was enforced for those census tracts that contained\n little or no population and represented a relatively large special land use area such as a National Park, military installation, or a business/industrial\n park; and the code range 9900 through 9998 was enforced for those census tracts that contained only water area, no land area. \n \n \n \n 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.\n \n \n completed\n \n \n \n \n \n notPlanned\n \n \n \n \n \n \n http://tigerweb.geo.census.gov/arcgis/services/TIGERweb/tigerWMS_Current/MapServer/WmsServer?REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&LAYERS=Census Tracts,Census Tracts Labels&STYLES=default,default&FORMAT=image/svg+xml&BGCOLOR=0xFFFFFF&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&CRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=42.289053,-71.907142,42.52679,-71.779999&WIDTH=891&HEIGHT=751\n \n \n URL for the TigerWeb Web Mapping Service\n \n \n URL for a web mapping service\n \n \n \n \n \n \n NGDA\n \n \n Governmental Units and Administrative and Statistical Boundaries Theme\n \n \n National Geospatial Data Asset\n \n \n theme \n \n \n \n \n NGDA Portfolio Themes\n \n \n \n \n 2010-02-01\n \n \n revision\n \n \n \n \n \n http://www.fgdc.gov/initiatives/resources/2013-2-1-ngda-data-themes-fgdc-sc-revised.pdf\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n State or equivalent entity\n \n \n Polygon\n \n \n Census Tract\n \n \n Tract\n \n \n theme \n \n \n \n \n None\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n United States\n \n \n U.S.\n \n \n State or Equivalent Entity\n \n \n Alabama\n \n \n AL\n \n \n 01\n \n \n place \n \n \n \n \n ANSI INCITS 38:2009 (Formerly FIPS 5-2), ANSI INCITS 31:2009 (Formerly FIPS 6-4),ANSI INCITS 454:2009 (Formerly FIPS 8-6), ANSI INCITS 455:2009(Formerly FIPS 9-1), ANSI INCITS 446:2008 (Geographic Names Information System (GNIS))\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n otherRestrictions \n \n \n \n \n \n Access Constraints: None\n \n \n Use Constraints:The TIGER/Line Shapefile products are not copyrighted however TIGER/Line and Census TIGER are registered trademarks of the U.S. Census Bureau.

Segments making up the outer\n and inner boundaries of a polygon tie end-to-end to completely enclose the area. All polygons are tested for closure.\n \n The Census Bureau uses its internally developed geographic update system to enhance and modify spatial and attribute data in the Census MAF/TIGER\n database. Standard geographic codes, such as FIPS codes for states, counties, municipalities, county subdivisions, places, American Indian/Alaska\n Native/Native Hawaiian areas, and congressional districts are used when encoding spatial entities. The Census Bureau performed spatial data tests\n for logical consistency of the codes during the compilation of the original Census MAF/TIGER database files. Most of the codes for geographic\n entities except states, counties, urban areas, Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs), American Indian Areas (AIAs), and congressional districts were\n provided to the Census Bureau by the USGS, the agency responsible for maintaining the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). Feature\n attribute information has been examined but has not been fully tested for consistency.\n \n 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\n in the shapefile attribute table. For multi-polygon features, only one attribute record exists for each multi-polygon rather than one attribute\n record per individual G-polygon component of the multi-polygon feature. TIGER/Line Shapefile multi-polygons are an exception to the G-polygon\n object type classification. Therefore, when multi-polygons exist in a shapefile, the object count will be less than the actual number of\n G-polygons.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n TIGER/Line Shapefiles are extracted from the Census MAF/TIGER database by nation, state, county, and entity. Census\n MAF/TIGER data for all of the aforementioned geographic entities are then distributed among the shapefiles each containing attributes for\n line, polygon, or landmark geographic data. \n \n \n 2015-01-01T00:00:00\n \n \n \n \n online\n \n \n \n \n Census MAF/TIGER database\n \n \n MAF/TIGER\n \n \n \n \n 201505\n \n \n Publication Date\n \n \n \n \n \n \n U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division\n \n \n originator\n \n \n \n \n \n Source Contribution: All line segments\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n notPlanned\n \n \n This was transformed from the Census Metadata Import Format\n \n \n \n \n","source_transform":{"@type":"dcat:Dataset","accessLevel":"non-public","contactPoint":{"@type":"vcard:Contact","fn":"U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division, Spatial Data Collection and Products Branch","hasEmail":"mailto:geo.geography@census.govv"},"describedByType":"application/octet-steam","description":"The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the\n U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB).
