- 2014 TIGER/Line ShapefilesThe 2014 TIGER/Line Shapefiles include features and boundaries from the MAF/TIGER database as of May 2014. This version also includes boundaries for the 2012 Economic Census. The TIGER/Line Shapefiles contain detailed geography and features that can be used for analysis such as density and geocoding. Each file includes extensive metadata in both the FGDC and ISO standard format including a layer description and a description of the attribute codes found in the shapefile.
- 2014 TIGER GeodatabasesTIGER Geodatabases are spatial extracts from the Census Bureau’s MAF/TIGER database for use with Esri’s ArcGIS. The geodatabases contain national coverage (for geographic boundaries or features) or state coverage (boundaries within state). Selected layers available include:
- National Blocks
- National Roads
- National All Edges
- National Area and Linear Water
- National Address Ranges
- These files do not include demographic data, but they contain geographic entity codes that can be linked to the Census Bureau’s 2014 demographic, economic, and socioeconomic data, available onAmerican FactFinder.
- 2014 Gazetteer FilesThe 2014 Census U.S. Gazetteer files for congressional districts, places, counties, county subdivisions, census tracts, American Indian areas, school districts, state legislative districts, urban areas, and ZIP Code tabulation areas (ZCTAs) are listings of each type of geography with name, code, area, and internal point coordinate.Excellent examples of GIS Projects/Posters

- Geocoding with ESRI software (new as of April 29, 2013):
- Geosearch services are available at no cost. You can locate an address or find a place, feature, or point of interest. The search result is displayed on the map but not stored for later use.
- World Geocoding includes batch geocoding, and results are stored. This service requires an ArcGIS Online paid or trial subscription.
- World Route can be used to find the best or quickest route. These services require an ArcGIS Online paid or trial subscription.
