    • TIGER/Line Shapefile, 2016, nation, U.S., Current Combined Statistical Area (CSA) National

    Metadata Updated: January 13, 2021

    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) Database (MTDB). The MTDB 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.

                                 Combined Statistical Areas (CSAs) are defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and consist of two or more adjacent Core
                             Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) that have significant employment interchanges.  The CBSAs that combine to create a CSA retain separate
                             identities within the larger CSA.  Because CSAs represent groupings of CBSAs, they should not be ranked or compared with individual
                             CBSAs.

                             The CSA boundaries are those defined by OMB based on the 2010 Census and published in 2013.
