Louisiana Geographic Information Center (LAGIC) U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division 2007 vector digital data TIGER/Line Files File contains a version code that uniquely identifies each specific release of a version of the TIGER/Line files. The version code (MMYY) represents the month and year that the data in the file was extracted from the TIGER database. http://lagic.lsu.edu/data/losco/tiger_places_la_pts_lagic_2007.zip The tiger_places_la_pts_lagic_2007 feature was created from the U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER/Line 2006 Second Edition dataset published in Q1 2007. This feature represents all incorporated places identified by the Census Bureau between the 2000 and 2006 TIGER/Line releases. This dataset is used to represent all incorporated places in Louisiana. It was created by combining the 2000 and 2006 'places' features features provided in the TIGER/Line Second Edition 2006 dataset. This dataset was crated using the TIGER/Line 2006 Second Edition dataset produced by the U.S. Census Bureau. This data is stored as Geographic Coordinates, NAD83. To find out more about TIGER/Line files and other Census TIGER database derived data sets visit http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger. 200607 200612 2006 Complete TIGER/Line files are extracted from the Census TIGER database twice a year or when needed for geographic programs required to support the census and survey programs of the U.S. Census Bureau. No changes or updates will be made to the 2006 Second Edition TIGER/Line files. Future releases of TIGER/Line files will reflect updates made to the Census TIGER database and will be released under a version numbering system based on the month and year the data is extracted. -93.997192 -89.395447 33.007278 29.222130 FGDC Framework Themes FWGOVERNMENTALUNITS Cultural ISO 19115 Topic Categories Boundaries None Linear Feature Feature Identifier Census Feature Class Code (CFCC) Address Range Geographic Entity Point/Node Landmark Feature Legal Boundary Statistical Boundary Legal Entity Statistical Entity Polygon State or Equivalent Entity County or Equivalent Entity TIGER/Line Topology Street Centerline Latitude/Longitude ZCTA ZIP Code Tabulation Area Urban Area Urbanized Area Urban Cluster Congressional District Combined Statistical Area Micropolitan Statistical Area Metropolitan Statistical Area Metropolitan Division New England City and Town Area Combined New Englad City and Town Area New England City and Town Area Division Metropolitan District Core Based Statistical Area Metropolitan Areas Vector TIGER/Line Identification Number (TLID) TIGER Zero-Cell ID (TZID) Street Segment Coordinate Geographic Code Internal Point County Subdivision Sub-Minor Civil Division Place American Indian Area Alaska Native Area Hawaiian Home Land Census Tract Block Group Census Block State Legislative District Voting District Public Use Microdata Area (PUMA) School District Boundary FIPS Publication 5-2 FIPS Publication 6-4 FIPS Publication 8-6 FIPS Publication 9-1 FIPS Publication 55-3 County None Acknowledging the U.S. Census Bureau would be appreciated for products derived from their TIGER/Line files.

The remaining attribute information has been examined but has not been fully tested for accuracy. The features presented in this dataset represten combined incorporated places from the 2000 and 2006 Second Edition TIGER/Line dataset. The feature network of lines (as represented by Record Types 1 and 2) is complete for census purposes. Spatial objects in TIGER/Line belong to the "Geometry and Topology" (GT) class of objects in the "Spatial Data Transfer Standard" (SDTS) FIPS Publication 173 and are topologically valid. Node/geometry and topology GT-polygon/chain relationships are collected or generated to satisfy topological edit requirements. These requirements include: (1) Complete chains must begin and end at nodes. (2) Complete chains must connect to each other at nodes. (3) Complete chains do not extend through nodes. (4) Left and right GT-polygons are defined for each complete chain element and are consistent throughout the extract process. (5) The chains representing the limits of the files are free of gaps. The Census Bureau performed automated tests to ensure logical consistency and limits of files. All polygons are tested for closure. The Census Bureau uses its internally developed Geographic Update System to enhance and modify spatial and attribute data in the Census TIGER database. Standard geographic codes, such as FIPS codes for states, counties, municipalities, county subdivisions, places, American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian areas, and congressional districts are used when encoding spatial entities. The Census Bureau performed spatial data tests for logical consistency of the codes during the compilation of the original Census TIGER database files. Most of the codes for all geographic entities except states, counties, and congressional districts were provided to the Census Bureau by the USGS, the agency responsible for maintaining FIPS 55. Feature attribute information has been examined but has not been fully tested for consistency. Data completeness of the TIGER/Line files reflects the contents of the Census TIGER database at the time the TIGER/Line files (2006 Second Edition version) were created. The Census Bureau uses Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates at road centerline intersections to evaluate the horizontal spatial accuracy of source files that may be used to realign road features in the TIGER database and test the horizontal spatial accuracy of the road features in the TIGER/Line files. The test compares a survey-grade GPS coordinate to its associated road centerline intersection in the TIGER file. The test is based upon an independent collection of GPS coordinates for a random sample of road intersections from a centerline file that meet certain criteria. The points are referred to as the sample points and are gathered through a private contractor working for the Census Bureau. Since the collection method uses survey-quality GPS-based field techniques, the resulting control points are considered "ground truth" against which the TIGER road centerline intersection coordinates are compared. The distances between the coordinates are calculated and the Census Bureau determines the Circular Error 95% (CE95). That is, the accuracy of the file in meters with 95% confidence. The CE95 can be calculated from the mean and standard deviation by using the formula: mean of differences plus (2.65 times the standard deviation). CE95 results reported for each file tested are determined using a spreadsheet with embedded statistical formula. The use and applicability of the spreadsheet and its embedded formula have been verified by Census Bureau statisticians. The basis of the calculation is the use of the root mean square error (RSME). This is the method as stated in the U.S. Government's Federal Geographic Data Committee Standard FGDC-STD-007.3-1998, Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards. Part 3: National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy. The results of using this measure of accuracy are in compliance with Federal Spatial Data requirements. In terms of the Census Bureau application, the dataset coordinate values are those taken from the centerline file and the coordinate values from an independent source of higher accuracy are those acquired through the Census Bureau's contractor. Please note that the horizontal spatial accuracy, where reported, refers only to the realigned road features identified as matched to the positionally accurate source file with that accuracy. It is not the spatial accuracy of the TIGER/Line file as a whole. U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, Geography Division Unpublished Material On line 200607 200612 Date the file was made available to create TIGER/Line File extracts. TIGER Selected geographic and cartographic information (line segments) from the Census TIGER database. In order for others to use the information in the Census TIGER database in a GIS or for other geographic applications, the Census Bureau releases periodic extracts of selected information from the Census TIGER database, organized as topologically consistent networks. Software (TIGER DB routines) written by the Geography Division allows for efficient access to Census TIGER system data. TIGER/Line files are extracted rom the Census TIGER database by county or statistical equivalent area. Census TIGER data for a given county or statistical equivalent area is then distributed among 19 fixed length record ASCII files, each one containing attributes for either line, polygon, or landmark geographic data types. The Census Bureau has released various versions of the TIGER/Line files since 1988, with each version having more updates (feature and feature names, address ranges and ZIP Codes, coordinate updates, revised field definitions, etc.) than the previous version. Census TIGER database 2006 Extracted 2000 and 2006 Second Edition "Place" features and merged the two features into a single featureclass using ArcGIS 9.2.
