      <Description>
         <Abstract>The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that 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 purpose of this file is to provide the
            geography for the 2010 Census Blocks along with their 2010 housing unit count and
            population. Census Blocks are statistical areas bounded on all sides by visible
            features, such as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and/or by nonvisible
            boundaries such as city, town, township, and county limits, and short line-of-sight
            extensions of streets and roads. Blocks are the smallest geographic areas for which the
            Census Bureau publishes data from the decennial census. A block may consist of one or
            more faces. </Abstract>
         <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.</Purpose>

   <Data_Quality_Information>
      <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.</Attribute_Accuracy_Report>
      <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.</Logical_Consistency_Report>
      <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.</Completeness_Report>
