TIGER/Line Shapefile, 2014, Series Information for the Current Consolidated City State-based Shapefiles
A consolidated city is a unit of local government for which the functions of an incorporated place and its county or minor civil
division (MCD) have merged. This action results in both the primary incorporated place and the county or MCD continuing to exist as legal entities,
even though the county or MCD performs few or no governmental functions and has few or no elected officials. Where this occurs, and where one or more
other incorporated places in the county or MCD continue to function as separate governments, even though they have been included in the consolidated
government, the primary incorporated place is referred to as a consolidated city. The Census Bureau classifies the separately incorporated places
within the consolidated city as place entities and creates a separate place (balance) record for the portion of the consolidated city not within any
other place. The boundaries of the consolidated cities are those as of January 1, 2013, as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation
Survey (BAS).
