Partnership Shapefiles are used to share data with, and capture data from, participants in the Census Bureau's geographic partnership programs. For questions about the specific contents of the partnership shapefiles refer to the corresponding documents in the Technical Documentation section of this page.

These shapefiles are intended for geographic partnership program uses. For those not participating in the Census Bureau's geographic partnership programs, refer to the TIGER/Line Shapefiles, TIGER/Line Geodatabases, and TIGER/Line GeoPackages.
