TIGER/Line Shapefile, 2015, nation, U.S., 114th Congressional District National
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. Congressional Districts are the 435 areas from which people are elected to the U.S. House of
Representatives. After the apportionment of congressional seats among the States based on census population counts, each State is responsible for
establishing congressional districts for the purpose of electing representatives. Each congressional district is to be as equal in population to all
other congressional districts in a State as practicable. The 114th Congress is seated from January 2015 to 2017. The TIGER/Line shapefiles for the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas (American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands) each contain a single record for the non-voting delegate district in these areas. The boundaries of all other congressional districts are
provided to the Census Bureau through the Redistricting Data Program (RDP).
