The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/ Line files are an extract <br /> of selected geographic and cartographic information from the Census TIGER <br /> ' data base . The geographic coverage for a single TIGER/ Line file is a county <br /> or statistical equivalent entity, with the coverage area based on January 1 , <br /> 2000 legal boundaries . A complete set of Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER / Line <br /> files includes all counties and statistically equivalent entities in the United <br /> States and Puerto Rico . The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER /Line files will <br /> not include files for the Island Areas . The Census TIGER data base represents <br /> a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts . However, each <br /> county- based TIGER/ Line file is designed to stand alone as an independent data <br /> set or the files can be combined to cover the whole Nation . The Redistricting <br /> Census 2000 TIGER/ Line files consist of line segments representing physical <br />" features and governmental and statistical boundaries . The Redistricting Census <br /> 2000 TIGER /Line files do NOT contain the ZIP Code Tabulation Areas ( ZCTAs ) and <br /> the address ranges are of approximately the same vintage as those appearing in <br /> the 1999 TIGER/ Line files . That is, the Census Bureau is producing the <br /> Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER / Line files in advance of the computer processing <br /> that will ensure that the address ranges in the TIGER/ Line files agree with the <br /> final Master Address File ( MAF ) used for tabulating Census 2000 . <br /> Purpose : <br /> In order for others to use the information in the Census TIGER data base in a <br /> geographic information system ( GIS ) or for other geographic applications , the <br /> Census Bureau releases to the public extracts of the data base in the form of <br /> TIGER/ Line files . Various versions of the TIGER/ Line files have been released ; <br /> previous versions include the 1990 Census TIGER /Line files , the 1992 TIGER /Line <br /> files, the 1994 TIGER / Line files , the 1995 TIGER / Line files, the 1997 TIGER/ Line <br /> files , the 1998 TIGER / Line files , and the 1999 TIGER/Line files .
