Series Information for Subbarrio (Subminor Civil Division) State-based TIGER/Line Shapefiles, Current

Published by U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division | U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2025-10-01T00:00:00.000+00:00
This is a series-level metadata record. 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) System (MTS). The MTS 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. In Puerto Rico, subminor civil divisions (subMCDs) are termed subbarrios and are legally defined subdivisions of the minor civil division (MCD) named barrios-pueblo and barrios. The boundaries of the subbarrios are as of January 1, 2020, and were provided to the Census Bureau by the Puerto Rico Planning Board.
