Hello,
I received the following announcement from a colleague. I thought others
might find it of interest. Linda Zellmer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On Thursday, August 22, 2013, the 2013 TIGER/Line Shapefiles will be
released along with a new product, the TIGER Geodatabases. An
announcement will be sent out on Thursday when the files are available.
The TIGER/Line Shapefiles will include a coastline feature starting this
year. The coastline was delineated by the Census Bureau in the
MAF/TIGER database based on water measurement class for display of
statistical information only; its depiction and designation for
statistical purposes does not constitute a determination of
jurisdictional authority or rights of ownership or entitlement and it is
not a legal land description.
The TIGER Geodatabases will include:
National Edges file (14.5 GB)
National Roads file (3.6 GB)
National Blocks file
National Linear Hydrography file
National Aeral Hydrography file
National Sub-State Geography file (includes state, county,
incorporated place, census designated place, consolidated city, county
subdivision, census tract, and block group geography)
National Nation-Level Geography file
National Legislative Areas file
National School Districts file
National American Indian Area Related file
National Rails file
National Address Ranges file
State-based files (one per state)
Please direct questions to [log in to unmask] or (301) 763-1128.
