- Abstract
- United States Populated Places is a polygon theme representing populated place areas such as census designated places, consolidated cities, and incorporated places within United States identified by the U.S. Census Bureau. Attribute information includes the name, class, population classification, population density, number of housing units and size of the areas. This dataset is a part of the 2010 ESRI Data Maps collection.
- Purpose
- United States Populated Places provides areal locations for populated places including attributes—name, FIPS code, census class, area, and selected demographic data from the U.S. Census.
- Supplemental Information
- Largest scale when displaying the data: 1:50,000. This dataset comes with an ESRI layer file symbolizing the features.

- Data Quality Information
- Logical Consistency Report
- The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format using either tools in ArcGIS or ESRI SDC Data Development Kit Professional 2 (DDKP2). The SDC data set is then imported into a file geodatabase to verify and validate the geometry.
- 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
- Horizontal positional accuracy is dependent on geographic area. In most areas, accuracy is between 5 and 25 meters (16 and 82 feet). In some areas, accuracy is off by up to several tens of meters (100 feet or more). In the poorest areas, accuracy is off by up to 100 meters (328 feet).
