Title: Maine Minor Civil Divisions-Census County Divisions 2010 GeoLibrary
Geospatial Data Presentation Form: vector digital data
Description:
Abstract: The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. County subdivisions are the primary divisions of counties and their equivalent entities for the reporting of Census Bureau data, and they include legally minor civil divisions (MCDs) and statistical census county divisions (CCDs), and unorganized territories. For the 2010 Census, the legal MCDs are the primary governmental and/or administrative divisions of counties in 29 States and Puerto Rico; Tennessee changed from having CCDs for Census 2000 to having MCDs for the 2010 Census. In MCD States where no MCD exists or is not defined, the Census Bureau creates statistical unorganized territories to complete coverage. The entire area of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas is covered by county subdivisions. The boundaries of all 2010 Census legal MCDs are as of January 1, 2010 as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). For the 2010 Census, CCDs or their equivalents are delineated in 21 States. The boundaries of all 2010 Census statistical CCDs were delineated as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP).
Purpose: In order for others to use the information in the Census MAF/TIGER database in a geographic information system (GIS) or for other geographic applications, the Census Bureau releases to the public extracts of the database in the form of TIGER/Line Shapefiles.
Supplemental Information: Three tables GEOMCDCCD, POPMAPS and MEPOPS are available to assist with the analysis of Census geographic areas in relation to Maine minor civil divisions. GEOMCDCCD is a crosswalk table that contains the COUSUB number, the unique identifier in MCDCCD, and the GEOCODE relationship. POPMAPS provides a related analysis of Census 2000 county divisions for Maine. Developed by the Maine Census Consortium, Maine State Planning Office, the file includes 2000 and 1990 populations, numeric and percent population change, population density 2000 and density change. MEPOPS has been developed by MEGIS. MEPOPS contains previously published population data for Maine Census 2000 CCDs from decennial census data 1950 through 1990 and the relate item COUSUB00 found in MCDCCD00. These tables are published and available for download through the Maine GIS internet Data Catalog at http://megis.maine.gov/catalog/ . There is often no direct 1:1 relationship between minor civil division boundaries and Census geographic units. The rural character of Maine, and especially northern Maine, requires the Census Bureau to report counts and tabulations over larger areas for statistical reasons and the Bureau of Census redefines these areas as population shifts. MCDCCD00 represents the closest correlation between Census geographic units and minor civil division boundaries. All other Census geographies represent areas either larger or smaller than town or township boundaries and often cross boundaries. In most cases additional analysis will be required to report Census counts and tabulations by town or township.
