- 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 extracted from the 1990 Census Version TIGER/Line(tm) files, then generalized to 1:5,000,000-scale. Generalizing reduced the positional accuracy to (+/- 8350 feet approximately). This is based on the positional accuracy of the TIGER/Line coordinates before being generalized which varies with the source materials used but at best meets the established National Map Accuracy standards (+/- 167 feet approximately) where 1:100,000-scale maps from the USGS are the source. The Census Bureau cannot specify the accuracy of feature updates added by its field staff or of features derived from the GBF/DIME-Files or other map sources. Thus, the level of positional accuracy in the TIGER/Line files is not suitable for high-precision measurement applications such as engineering problems, property transfers, or other uses that might require highly accurate measurements of the earth's surface.

- Entity Type Definition
- An area established by State officials or the courts for the purpose of electing a person to the U.S. House of Representatives. Within each State, these areas must contain, as nearly as possible, an equal number of inhabitants. The number of Congressional Districts in each State may change after each decennial census, and the boundaries may be changed more than once during a decade.
