Data_Quality_Information

Logical_Consistency_Report: The demographic attribute information for each county has not been fully tested for logical consistency.
Completeness_Report: Demographic attribute values are fully present for every county.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The cartographic boundary files are primarily designed for small scale, thematic mapping applications at a target scale range of 1:500,000 to 1:5,000,000. The cartographic boundary files are a generalized extract from the U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER database. Line simplification/smoothing was performed with a tolerance of 0.005 decimal degrees and a coordinate reduction using the Douglas-Peucker method with a tolerance of 0.0003 decimal degrees. Very small polygons were eliminated when the combination of geographic codes existed elsewhere. The geography was clipped back to the shoreline of the United States, in contrast to TIGER/Line which shows the full extent of geography out to the 3-mile limit. Because of coordinate thinning: 1. Cartographic boundary files should not be used for geocoding; 2. Some offshore, redundant, zero population and housing land areas may be absent from the files; 3. Cartographic Boundary files are not necessarily vertically integrated with previous boundary file sets.
Lineage:
Process_Step:
Process_Description: The original shapefile of year 2000 county boundaries was obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau "Cartographic Boundary Files" download page <http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/bdy_files.html>, and projected to UTM zone 18N (NAD 1983). Attribute data from the 2000 Census was downloaded from American FactFinder <http://factfinder.census.gov/> and joined to the shapefile attribute table.
