Format:
The core TIGER/Line Files and Shapefiles do not include demographic data, but they do contain geographic entity codes that can be linked to the Census Bureau’s demographic data, available on data.census.gov.
Information about the TIGER/Line Shapefiles can be found in the TIGER/Line Shapefiles and TIGER/Line Files technical documentation.
The 1992 TIGER/Line Files serve as a link between 1980 and 1990 geography. These files are in an early TIGER/Line format that generally does not work with shapefile conversion software.
Technical support is not available for these files.
