Description:
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.

Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency: TIGER/Line Shapefiles are extracted from the Census MAF/TIGER database. No changes or updates will be made to this version of the TIGER/Line Shapefiles. Future releases of TIGER/Line Shapefiles will reflect updates made to the Census MAF/TIGER database.

acknowledgement must be given to the U.S. Census Bureau as the source.
The horizontal spatial accuracy information present in these files is provided for the purposes of statistical

of the spatial accuracy, and no liability is assumed by the U.S. Government in general or the U.S. Census Bureau,
 specifically as to the spatial or attribute accuracy of the data.  The TIGER/Line Shapefiles may not be suitable
 for high-precision measurement applications such as engineering problems, property transfers, or other uses
 that might require highly accurate measurements of the earth's surface.Coordinates in the TIGER/Line shapefiles 
have six implied decimal places, but the positional accuracy of these coordinates is not as great as the six 
decimal places suggest.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_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.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
There may be some inconsistencies in feature names along features.  An anomaly exists with the sporadic 
occurrence of road segments comprising a complete chain with different MAF/TIGER Feature Census Class 
Code (MTFCC) values assigned.  This problem could affect applications that use the MTFCC values for 
network analysis, routing, or for assigning symbology to a feature when creating a map.
The Census Bureau performed automated tests to ensure logical consistency and limits of shapefiles.  
Node/geometry and topology relationships are collected or generated to satisfy topological edit requirements.
 These requirements include:
(1) Complete chains must begin and end at nodes.
(2) Complete chains must connect to each other at nodes.
(3) Complete chains do not extend through nodes.
(4) Left and right polygons are defined for each complete chain element and are consistent throughout the extract process.
(5) The chains representing the limits of the files are free of gaps.
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.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The Census Bureau uses Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates at road centerline intersections to
 evaluate the horizontal spatial accuracy of source files that may be used to realign road features in the 
MAF/TIGER database and test the horizontal spatial accuracy of the road features in the TIGER/Line Shapefiles.
  The test compares a survey-grade GPS coordinate to its associated road centerline intersection in the 
TIGER/Line Shapefiles.  The test is based on an independent collection of GPS coordinates for a random 
sample of road intersections from a centerline file that meet certain criteria.  The points are referred
 to as the sample points and are gathered through a private contractor working for the Census Bureau. 
 Since the collection method uses survey-quality GPS-based field techniques, the resulting control 
points are considered 'ground truth' against which the TIGER road centerline intersection coordinates
 are compared.  The distances between the coordinates are calculated and the Census Bureau determines 
the Circular Error 95% (CE95).  That is, the accuracy of the file in meters with 95% confidence.  
The CE95 can be calculated from the mean and standard deviation by using the formula: mean of 
differences plus (2.65 times the standard deviation).  CE95 results reported for each file tested 
are determined using a spreadsheet with embedded statistical formula.  The use and applicability of 
the spreadsheet and its embedded formula have been verified by Census Bureau statisticians.  The basis 
of the calculation is the use of the root mean square error (RSME).  This is the method as stated in the 
U.S. Government's Federal Geographic Data Committee Standard FGDC-STD-007.3-1998, Geospatial Positioning
 Accuracy Standards.  Part 3: National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy.  The results of using this measure 
of accuracy are in compliance with Federal Spatial Data requirements.  In terms of the Census Bureau 
application, the dataset coordinate values are those taken from the centerline file and the coordinate
 values from an independent source of higher accuracy are those acquired through the Census Bureau's 
contractor.  Please note that the horizontal spatial accuracy, where reported, refers only to the 
realigned road features identified as matched to the positionally accurate source file with that accuracy.
 It is not the spatial accuracy of the TIGER/Line Shapefile as a whole.
