[CTPP] FW: Census 2000 TIGER/Line and Tract Relationship Files

The Census Bureau has now made available the Census 2000 TIGER/Line files and the Census 2000 Tract Relationship files. All files are now available. This includes the first release of the Census 2000 TIGER/Line files for the Island areas (American Samoa, Guam, Midway Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). These files will be available for purchase from the Census Bureau either on DVD (1 disk) or CD-ROM (7 disks). Both the DVD and the CD-ROMs will be created as "one-off" copies as they are ordered. The Census 2000 TIGER/Line files may be downloaded from: http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tiger2k/tgr2000.html Please be aware that there are some differences between this version and the Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files. This is the version that contains the ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) and the address ranges based upon the final Census 2000 Master Address File. It also contains the correct boundaries for the Congressional Districts for the 106th Congress. The document http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tiger2k/rdchg2k.txt contains a description of all the corrections that were made to the Census 2000 TIGER/Line files from the Redistricting version.
