Some TIGER Data Finally Out In Shapefile Format



Over a year ago, I posted about the transition of US Census TIGER vector data from their non-standard format to shapefile format. Despite what you might have read elsewhere, the new TIGER shapefiles hadn’t been released yet … until today. They’ve been saying for months now that they expected to release them in March of 2008, and they made it just under the wire.

    Hmm. I wonder what I’m doing wrong that is not showing Michigan from the states shapefile. The nearby states look OK.
