Description
The United States Census Bureau regularly releases a geodatabase named TIGER. This table contains the 2010 census Demographic Profile 1 values aggregated by census tract. Tract areas vary tremendously, but in urban areas are roughly equivalent to a neighborhood. There are about 74,000 polygon features covering the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Island areas.
For full technical details on all TIGER 2010 products, see the TIGER technical documentation.
Each tract also includes attributes with sums of the DP1 population measurements that intersect the boundary. The columns have the same name as the shortname column in the DP1 lookup table.
