Partnership shapefiles allow the Census Bureau and its official partners to share and collect data. For questions about the specific content of the partnership shapefiles, refer to the corresponding resources in the Technical Documentation section of this page.

These shapefiles are designed specifically for active participants in our geographic partnership programs. If you are not currently participating in a program, please use the public TIGER/Line Shapefiles, TIGER/Line Geodatabases, or TIGER/Line GeoPackages instead.
