The purpose of this conversion was to derive a subset of coverages from the Tiger Files that would be of wide use by DASC clientele. These coverages reflect only a portion of the possible themes that could be created from TIiger and serve as a common ground for all to work from and should be customized for each of the users individual needs. None of the coverages have been edited from the original Tiger line files. DASC Tiger coverages are provided "as-is," please submit any corrections or errors to DASC so the dataset can be corrected. Purpose: Fourteen themes were extracted and built in Arc/Info from the 1992 US Census Tiger line files for general reference use.

The databases are evaluated based on questions similar to the following: Does the database's documentation properly explain the dataset? Does the data import properly into its native dataset environment? Is consistent methodology used throughout the data? Are all of the database's fields and values legitimate compared to the documentation? Is the database's topology free of errors that could impair the functionality of the data? Once the data is tested a report is written describing the evaluation. A copy of the report is then forwarded to the data originator for his/her review. If errors are found, the data originator is expected to make any necessary corrections and then provide those corrected coverages. After these steps have been taken data is considered archivable and made available for distribution. Data that is archived by DASC has been tested and corrected.

These attributes are drawn from either the Tiger line file tables or from the Census Population and Housing tables (STF1A table 0). In addition to the attached demographics the remaining STF1A tables (1-9) can be limited through relates. These tables can be provided upon request. Further documentation is available on the field names and definitions of these tables. These attributes can be utilized for street address matching or statistical analysis of area demographics. The following attribute names and descriptions are included in the DASC Tiger coverages: xx_tig1* Tiger line and polygon coverage of the entire county dataset xx_tig2 Tiger polygon label points xx_tig3 Tiger landmarks points xx_tigai Native American Reservation boundaries xx_tigbg Census block group boundaries xx_tigbk Census block boundaries xx_tigcn County boundaries xx_tigcy Incorporated areas xx_tighy Hydrologic features xx_tiglm Landmarks xx_tigmt Miscellaneous transportation features xx_tigrd Roadways xx_tigrr Railroads xx_tigsd Unified school districts xx_tigtk Census tract boundaries xx_tigtp Political townships xx_tigvd Voting districts Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: U.S. Census Bureau, 1992 U.S. Census Tiger line files, Washington, D.C.
