Data Quality Information
Logical Consistency Report
The dataset is converted to file geodatabase (FGDB) format using tools in ArcGIS. The geometry is checked, and if needed repaired.
Completeness Report
After processing, the dataset is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
The positional accuracy of TIGER/Line varies with the source materials used. The Census Bureau cannot specify the accuracy of features changed or added by its field staff or through local updates, features derived from the GBF/DIME Files, or other sources. Thus, the level of positional accuracy in the TIGER/Line shapefiles makes them unsuitable 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.
