New Construction Program (Phase 2)

October 2009
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU
2010 Census New Construction Program ESRI Shapefiles
A shapefile as defined by the Environmental Systems Research
Institute (ESRI) is a vector data storage format for storing the
location, shape, and attributes of geographic features. A
shapefile is stored in a set of related files and contains one
feature class.
HOW WERE THESE SHAPEFILES CREATED?
The 2010 Census New Construction Program ESRI Shapefiles created from
the Census Bureau's TIGER (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding
and Referencing) database of selected geographic and cartographic
information. TIGER was developed at the Census Bureau to support the
mapping and related geographic activities required by the decennial and
economic censuses and sample survey programs. The 2010 Census LUCA
ESRI Shapefiles consist of the following four files for each data type:
.shp - the file that stores the feature geometry
.shx - the file that stores the index of the feature geometry
.dbf - the dBASE, or database, file that stores the attribute
information of features
.prj - the file that stores the coordinate system information
WHAT IS IN THE SHAPEFILES?
Below is the list of Geographic files included in the 2010 Census LUCA
ESRI Shapefiles product for shapefile participants and participants
using the MAF/TIGER Partnership Software (MTPS): (Note: In the File
names stands for the two digit FIPS State code and stands for
the three digit FIPS County Code.)
****Note - Not all shapefiles are clipped to the county. The following
six (6) shapefiles are not clipped at the county level:****
1. Alaska Native Regional Corporations (ANRC)
2. American Indian Areas (AIA)
3. American Indian Tribal Subdivision Legal (AITSL)
4. American Indian Tribal Subdivision Statistical (AITSS)
5. Hawaiian Home Lands(HHL)
12. Incorporated Places(Place)
