The TIGER/Line geodatabase and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) System (MTS). The MTS represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line geodatabase layer is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. After each decennial census, the Census Bureau delineates urban areas that represent densely developed territory, encompassing residential, commercial, and other nonresidential urban land uses. In general, this territory consists of areas of high population density and urban land use resulting in a representation of the urban footprint. There are 2,644 Urban Areas (UAs) in this data release with either a minimum population of 5,000 or a housing unit count of 2,000 units. Each urban area is identified by a five-character numeric census code that may contain leading zeros. The Census Bureau releases extracts of the MAF/TIGER database in the form of TIGER/Line Geodatabase for others to use in geographic information systems (GIS) or for other geographic applications.

(OGC) Web Map Service interface standard (WMS) provides a simple HTTP interface for requesting geo-registered map images from our geospatial database. The response to the request is one or more geo-registered map images that can be displayed in a browser or WMS client application. By gaining access to our data through our WMS, users can produce maps containing TIGERweb layers combined with layers from other servers. https://tigerweb.geo.census.gov/arcgis/rest/services/TIGERweb/Urban/MapServer https://geoservices.github.io TIGERweb/Urban (MapServer) The GeoServices REST Specification provides a way for Web clients to communicate with geographic information system (GIS) servers through Representational State Transfer (REST) technology. The Census Bureau performed automated tests to ensure the logical consistency and limits of the shapefiles and relationship files. These tests ensure preestablished rules of the MAF/TIGER System for data completeness and connectivity, geographic hierarchies and relationships, and standardization of attribution and codes were met. Data completeness of the TIGER/Line Shapefiles reflects the contents of the Census MAF/TIGER System at the time the shapefiles were created. Data completeness of the TIGER/Line Shapefiles reflects the contents of the Census MAF/TIGER System at the time the shapefiles were created. This was transformed from the Census Bureau Geospatial Product Metadata Content Standard.
