NOTE: The filling of codes and data attributes in
the files is specific to summary level; not
all fields are
filled for every summary level. Where a
code or attribute is specified, the actual
value is
assigned to the field except for the use of three special codes:
Assignment of codes of nine (9)
indicates a balance record or that the entity or attribute
does not exist for this record.
Assignment of pound signs (#) indicates
that more than one value exists for this field and,
thus, no specific value can be assigned.
Assignment of exclamation marks (!)
indicates that this value has not yet been determined
for this file.

Identifies the geographic level for which the data matrices on the

geographic areas, if any. The summary
level must be
used in combination with the geographic

the data for a particular county). See How to Use This File for further

Indicates an iteration (repetition), for the specified summary level, of
the data matrices
on the summary file for a population or
housing characteristic. These iteration
fields apply
to SF2 and SF4 only. See How to Use This File (Chapter 2) for
further information.
5.
The logical record is the complete record [identification and set of
tables (matrices)]
for a geographic entity defined by the
summary level, but exclusive of the characteristic
iteration. A logical record may have one or more parts (or segments). Each logical record
has an assigned sequential integer number
within the file. See How to Use This
File for
further information.
6.
See Appendix A, Geographic Terms and Concepts, for definition of this
field.
7.
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) codes are standards and
guidelines that are
issued by National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST) for use in computer systems
within the federal government. There are
several standards used in Census 2000 data
presentation. The Census Bureau maintains the following standards:
FIPS 5, Codes for the identification
of the states, the District of Columbia and
the Outlying Areas of the United
States, and associated areas
FIPS 6, Counties and equivalent
entities of the united states, its possessions,
and associated areas
FIPS 9, Congressional Districts of
the United States
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
maintains:
FIPS 8, Metropolitan Areas (Including
MSAs, CMSAs, PMSAs, AND NECMAs)
The United States Geological Survey
maintains:
FIPS 55, Guideline: Codes for named
populated places, primary county divisions,
and other locational entities of the
United States, Puerto Rico, and the Outlying
Areas
General information about FIPS can be
found on the Internet at:
http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/
The actual codes assigned to the many
FIPS 55 entities can be found at:
http://www.nist.gov:80/itl/fipspubs/55new/nav-top-fr.htm
8.
Codes in unspecified arrangement for U.S. Census Bureau use.
9.
For summary levels 256, 257, 258, 259, 289, 291, 292, 293, and 294, The
Census Bureau
only creates records for federally
recognized American Indian reservation and/or off-
reservation trust land entities, as
appropriate for the summary level. No
records are
created for state reservations,
statistical American Indian and Alaska Native areas, and
Hawaiian home lands.
10. Federal Information Processing Standards
(FIPS) 55 codes are assigned by state.
Because
American Indian areas can exist in more
than one state, multiple FIPS 55 codes exist for
the entity. In National products, American Indian areas in multiple states
will show a
FIPS 55 code of ##### indicating that
multiple FIPS codes exist for this entity.
11. State legislative district codes can have
one to three characters including special
characters of dashes, slashes, and
periods. If the code contains less than
three
characters, the field is right-justified
with leading blanks.
12. Voting district codes can have one to six
characters including special characters of
dashes, slashes, and periods. If the code contains less than six
characters, the field
is right-justified with leading blanks
13. Land area measurement in square meters. The accuracy of the area measurement is
limited
by the inaccuracy inherent in the mapping
of the various boundary features in the TIGER
file.
Land area includes intermittent water and glaciers, which appear on
census maps
and in the TIGER file as hydrographic
features. Square miles can be derived
by dividing
square meters by 2589988. See Appendix A. Geographic Terms and
Concepts, for definition of
this field if it is applicable to this
file.
14. Water area measurement in square
meters. The accuracy of the area
measurement is limited
by the inaccuracy inherent in the mapping
of the various boundary features in the TIGER
File.
Water area excludes intermittent water and glaciers, which are treated
as land
even though they appear on census maps
and in the TIGER File as hydrographic features.
Square miles can be derived by dividing
square meters by 2589988. See Appendix
A.
Geographic Terms and Concepts, for
definition of this field if it is applicable to this file.
15. Name of the lowest-level entity represented
by the summary level. In addition to
the name
of the entity, the name field contains
the legal/statistical area description (LSAD) when
appropriate, and sometimes contains the
state abbreviation. For legal entities,
the name
is
the one reported to the U.S. Census Bureau in the Boundary and Annexation
Survey or by
other appropriate sources. For statistical entities, the name is
determined by the Office
of Management and Budget for metropolitan
areas. For other areas, the name is
determined
by the local officials, usually in
cooperation with the U.S. Census Bureau.
When the summary level represents only
part of the area specified in the name, the name
usually will have "(pt.)'' appended
to the name/code terminology to designate that this
entry for the entity represents only a
part of the total entity.
16. The total number of persons enumerated in
the specified summary level as determined in
the 100-percent processing.
17. The total
number of housing units enumerated in the specified summary level as determined
in the
100-percent processing.
18. Latitude in degrees, to six decimal places,
of a point within the geographic area
represented by the summary level. The decimal point is implied on the
file. The
character immediately preceding the first
digit of the latitude of an internal point
identifies the direction
(hemisphere): a plus sign (+) indicates
the Northern Hemisphere;
a minus sign (-) indicates the Southern
Hemisphere. See Appendix A. Geographic
Terms and
Concepts, for definition of this field if
it is applicable to this file.
19. Longitude in degrees, to six decimal places,
of a point with the geographic area
represented by the summary level. The decimal point is implied on the
file. The character
immediately preceding the first digit of
the longitude of an internal point identifies the
direction (hemisphere): a plus sign (+) indicates the Eastern
Hemisphere; a minus sign (-)
indicates the Western Hemisphere. A point on the 180th meridian is assigned to
the Western
Hemisphere (-180000000). See Appendix A. Geographic Terms and
Concepts, for definition of
this field if it is applicable to this file.
