Data Quality Information

Absolute External Positional Accuracy
Evaluation Method
[Data are not accurate. Data are generalized representations of geographic boundaries at 1:500,000.]
Result
Unified Code of Units of Measure m Missing
Completeness Commission
Evaluation Method
[The cartographic boundary files are generalized representations of extracts taken from the MAF/TIGER Database. Generalized boundary files are clipped to a simplified version of the U.S. outline. As a result, some off-shore areas may be excluded from the generalized files. Some small geographic areas, holes, or discontiguous parts of areas may not be included in generalized files if they are not visible at the target scale.]
