Census Bureau Releases New Geospatial Data
The U.S. Census Bureau today announced the release of new geospatial data, including the first-time release of Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (TIGER)/Line files in GeoPackage format. GeoPackage files are spatial extracts that are based on the Open Geospatial Consortium Encoding Standard and can be used with geographic software.
This release of the Census Bureau’s geospatial data includes the new 119th Congressional District and 2024 State Legislative District boundaries provided in the Master Address File (MAF)/TIGER System. These files contain geographic information, which are spatial data encoded in a file format, including TIGER/Line Shapefiles, TIGER/Line Geodatabases and TIGER/Line GeoPackages, which contain national coverage (for geographic boundaries or features) or state coverage (for boundaries within state).
