Description
The United States Census Bureau regularly releases a geodatabase named TIGER. This dataset contains the 2010 census blocks, roughly equivalent to a city block. There are just over 11 million polygon features covering the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Island areas.
For full technical details on all TIGER 2010 products, see the TIGER technical documentation.
