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) System (MTS). The MTS 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. A consolidated city is a unit of local government for which the functions of an incorporated place and its county or minor civil division (MCD) have merged. This action results in both the primary incorporated place and the county or MCD continuing to exist as legal entities, even though the county or MCD performs few or no governmental functions and has few or no elected officials. Where this occurs, and where one or more other incorporated places in the county or MCD continue to function as separate governments, even though they have been included in the consolidated government, the primary incorporated place is referred to as a consolidated city. The Census Bureau classifies the separately incorporated places within the consolidated city as place entities and creates a separate place (balance) record for the portion of the consolidated city not within any other place. The boundaries of the consolidated cities are those as of January 1, 2025, as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). The Census Bureau releases extracts of the MAF/TIGER database in the form of TIGER/Line Shapefiles for others to use in geographic information systems (GIS) or for other geographic applications. completed U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division 301-763-1128 301-763-4710 4600 Silver Hill Road, Stop 7400 Washington DC 20233-7400 United States geo.geography@census.gov pointOfContact notPlanned https://tigerweb.geo.census.gov/arcgis/services/TIGERweb/tigerWMS_ACS2025/MapServer/WmsServer?REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&LAYERS=50,51&STYLES=default,default&FORMAT=image/png+xml&BGCOLOR=0xFFFFFF&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&CRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=+38.0389,-85.6885,+38.1528,-85.4423&WIDTH=256&HEIGHT=256 URL for the TIGERWeb Mapping Service URL NGDA National Geospatial Data Asset NGDAID75 Governmental Units and Administrative and Statistical Boundaries Theme theme NGDA Portfolio Themes 2017-03-24 revision https://www.fgdc.gov/policyandplanning/a-16/appendixe/20170324-ngda-themes-fgdc-sc-revised-appendixe.pdf State or equivalent entity Polygon Consolidated City theme None U.S. United States place ISO 3166 codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions. otherRestrictions otherRestrictions Access constraints: None 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.

(OGC) Web Map Service interface standard (WMS) provides a simple HTTP interface for requesting geo-registered map images from our geospatial database. The response to the request is one or more geo-registered map images that can be displayed in a browser or WMS client application. By gaining access to our data through our WMS, users can produce maps containing TIGERweb layers combined with layers from other servers. search https://tigerweb.geo.census.gov/arcgis/rest/services/TIGERweb/Places_CouSub_ConCity_SubMCD/MapServer https://geoservices.github.io TIGERweb/Places_CouSub_ConCity_SubMCD (MapServer) The GeoServices REST Specification provides a way for Web clients to communicate with geographic information system (GIS) servers through Representational State Transfer (REST) technology. search series The Census Bureau performed automated tests to ensure the logical consistency and limits of the shapefiles and relationship files. These tests ensure preestablished rules of the MAF/TIGER System for data completeness and connectivity, geographic hierarchies and relationships, and standardization of attribution and codes were met. Data completeness of the TIGER/Line Shapefiles reflects the contents of the Census MAF/TIGER System at the time the shapefiles were created. Data completeness of the TIGER/Line Shapefiles reflects the contents of the Census MAF/TIGER System at the time the shapefiles were created. annually This was transformed from the Census Bureau Geospatial Product Metadata Content Standard. This series represents a dataset that is currently a National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA).
