- Abstract:
-
This geodatabase includes a feature class containing the 2010 Census Block Groups spatial data and all associated tables from the 2010 Census Redistricting Data (P.L. 94-171) Summary File. Each table has an associated relationship class included in the GeoDatabase to help facilitate the identification, querying, relating, and joining of records while using the data within ArcMap. This data represents all available 2010 census population data available to date. Block Groups (BGs) are defined before tabulation block delineation and numbering, they are clusters of blocks within the same census tract that have the same first digit of their 4-digit census block number from the same decennial census.
- Purpose:
-
To analyze demographic and census data from the 2010 U.S. Census.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
This dataset contains 2010 Census Block Groups, which 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).
Block Groups (BGs) are defined before tabulation block delineation and
numbering, but are clusters of blocks within the same census tract that have the
same first digit of their 4-digit census block number from the same decennial
census. For example, Census 2000 tabulation blocks 3001, 3002, 3003,.., 3999
within Census 2000 tract 1210.02 are also within BG 3 within that census tract.
2000 Census Block Groups generally contained between 600 and 3,000 people,
with an optimum size of 1,500 people. Within the standard census geographic
hierarchy, BGs never cross county or census tract boundaries, but may cross the
boundaries of other geographic entities like county subdivisions, places, urban
areas, voting districts, congressional districts, and American Indian / Alaska
Native / Native Hawaiian areas.
Most BGs were delineated by local participants in the Census Bureau's Participant
Statistical Areas Program (PSAP). The Census Bureau delineated BGs only where
the PSAP participant declined to delineate BGs or where the Census Bureau
could not identify any local PSAP participant. A BG usually covers a contiguous
area. Each census tract contains at least one BG, and BGs are uniquely
numbered within census tract.
BGs have a valid code range of 0 through 9. BGs coded 0 were intended to only
include water area, no land area, and they are generally in territorial seas, coastal
water, and Great Lakes water areas. For Census 2000, rather than extending a
census tract boundary into the Great Lakes or out to the U.S. nautical three-mile
limit, the Census Bureau delineated some census tract boundaries along the
shoreline or just offshore. The Census Bureau assigned a default census tract
number of 0 and BG of 0 to these offshore, water-only areas not included in
regularly numbered census tract areas.

- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within
the original data.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
The Census Bureau performed automated tests to ensure
logical consistency and limits of shapefiles. Segments
making up the outer and inner boundaries of a polygon
tie end-to-end to completely enclose the area. All polygons
are tested for closure.
The Census Bureau uses its internally developed geographic
update system to enhance and modify spatial and attribute
data in the Census MAF/TIGER database. Standard geographic
codes, such as FIPS codes for states, counties, municipalities,
county subdivisions, places, American Indian/Alaska Native/Native
Hawaiian areas, and congressional districts are used when encoding
spatial entities. The Census Bureau performed spatial data tests
for logical consistency of the codes during the compilation of the
original Census MAF/TIGER database files. Most of the codes for
geographic entities except states, counties, urban areas, Core Based
Statistical Areas (CBSAs), American Indian Areas (AIAs), and congressional
districts were provided to the Census Bureau by the USGS, the agency
responsible for maintaining FIPS 55. Feature attribute information
has been examined but has not been fully tested for consistency.
For the TIGER/Line Shapefiles, the Point and Vector Object Count for
the G-polygon SDTS Point and Vector Object Type reflects the number of
records in the shapefile attribute table. For multi-polygon features,
only one attribute record exists for each multi-polygon rather than
one attribute record per individual G-polygon component of the multi-polygon
feature. TIGER/Line Shapefile multi-polygons are an exception to the
G-polygon object type classification. Therefore, when multi-polygons
exist in a shapefile, the object count will be less than the actual
number of G-polygons.

Data completeness of the TIGER/Line Shapefiles reflects

GeoPlan downloaded the Redistricting Summary File from the Census in .pl format:
<http://www2.census.gov/census_2010/01-Redistricting_File--PL_94-171/Florida/>
The database was compiled using the process steps in
<http://www.census.gov/rdo/pdf/0HowToUseMicrosoftAccessShells.pdf>
The 2010 TIGER line files were downloaded from the following site:
<http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tgrshp2010/tgrshp2010.html>
When received the data was in Geographic Lat/Long projection.
The data was projected to Albers HPGN.
The following QAQC procedures were performed:
- exported original shapefile to file GeoDatabase
- Added field FGDLAQDATE based on date GeoPlan acquired data from Census Bureau
- Changed file name from tl_2010_12_bg10.shp to CENBLKGRP2010_SF_MAR11

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
