Data Quality Information
Logical Consistency Report
No duplicate features are present. The shapefile is exported using Avenue request ExportClean. This request verifies and enforces the correctness of shapes.
Completeness Report
After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
The geospatial part of this data set was calculated from latitude/longitude coordinates from the Public Law 94-171 population files. The horizontal positional accuracy is unknown.
