The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line filesare specifically intended to support the needs of the redistricting community. This version of the TIGER/Line files contains all the Census 2000 entities EXCEPT FORthe ZIP Code®Tabulation Areas (ZCTAsTM), nor do they contain the updated address ranges based on the final Census 2000 information. The address ranges are comparable to those in the 1999 TIGER/Line files. The Redistricting Census 2000 TIGER/Line files cover all counties for the State of Michigan.
The TIGER/Line files are extracts of selected geographic and cartographic information from the Census Bureau's TIGER (Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing) database. There is one archived (zipped) TIGER/Line file for each county (self-extracting). The file names consist of TGR + the 2-digit FIPS code for Michigan, + the 3-digit county FIPS code i.e. TGR26001.EXE for Alcona County, MI.
Each of the counties are stored in a self-extracting zip file. The COUNTS26.pdf or Tab Delimited text for import, COUNTS26.txt files show the counts for the number of records for each record type by county for a state. If the count for a particular record type is 0, then that record type does not exist for that county.
The Census Bureau is providing the TIGER/Line files in ASCII text format only and the data are NOT in the form of map images. To create maps with the TIGER/Line files, one would typically use a Geographic Information System (GIS) package or other mapping software. Users are responsible for converting or translating the files into a format used by their specific software package. Before downloading files, please refer to the Technical Documentation (PDF 3.45M) file.
