Published by U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division, Spatial Data Collection and Products Branch | U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 29, 2026 at 10:14 AM | Dataset Last Updated: January 01, 2010 at 12:00 AM
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.
