TIGER/Line Shapefile, 2013, Series Information File for the Current Topological Faces (Polygons With All Geocodes) Shapefile State-based Shapefile
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. Face refers to the areal (polygon) topological primitives that
make up MTDB. A face is bounded by one or more edges; its boundary includes only the edges
that separate it from other faces, not any interior edges contained within the area of the
face. The Topological Faces Shapefile contains the attributes of each topological
primitive face. Each face has a unique topological face identifier (TFID) value. Each face
in the shapefile includes the key geographic area codes for all geographic areas for which
the Census Bureau tabulates data for both the 2010 Census and the annual estimates and
surveys. The geometries of each of these geographic areas can then, be built by dissolving
the face geometries on the appropriate key geographic area codes in the Topological Faces
Shapefile.
