The TIGER/Line files contain data describing three major types of features/entities; Line Features - (1) Roads (2) Railroads (3) Hydrography (4) Miscellaneous transportation features and selected power lines and pipe lines (5) Legal (governmental unit) and statistical boundaries Landmark Features - (1) Point landmarks, e.g., schools and churches; sporadic coverage added on an as-needed basis (2) Area landmarks, e.g., Parks and cemeteries; sporadic coverage added on an as-needed basis Polygon features - (1) Geographic entity codes for areas used to tabulate the Census 2000 census statistical data and governmental unit boundaries legally in effect as of the latest Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS) (2) Locations of area landmarks The line features and polygon information form the majority of data in the TIGER/Line files. Some of the data/attributes describing the lines include coordinates, feature identifiers (names), CFCCs (used to identify the most noticeable characteristic of a feature), address ranges, and geographic entity codes. The Census Bureau includes landmark features on an as-needed-basis and has made no attempt to ensure that all instances of a particular landmark feature were included. The TIGER/Line files contain point and area labels that describe landmark features and provide locational reference. Area landmarks consist of a feature name or label and feature Landmarks may overlap or refer to the same set of polygons. The Census TIGER database uses collections of spatial objects (points, lines, and polygons) to model or describe real-world geography. The Census Bureau uses these spatial objects to represent features such as streets, rivers, and political boundaries and assigns attributes to these features to identify and describe specific features such as the 500 block of Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
