TIGER/Line 2014 Road Coverage
This section provides a U.S. by county interactive table showing attributes of TIGER/Line 2014 street/road coverage. The TIGER/Line files and related Digital Map Database (DMD) provide U.S. wall-to-wall street/road coverage in the form of line shapefiles. Lines classified as roads are intersection-to-intersection road segments. Line segment fields include name, left- and right-side high and low addresses, and many related attributes. Update. See about the TIGER 2016 released in August 2016.

While many aspects of road coverage remain as described in this section, TIGER/line 2014 includes many updates as well as "new vintage" geography for school districts, state legislative districts, congressional districts and other political/statistical area geography. See TIGER 2014. TIGER Road Coverage & Attribute Availability A limitation of TIGER/Line road coverage is that not all road segment fields are populated with the name and many have no address-related field values. This is the result of many reasons that include quality of underlying data are provided by county/regional source partners, roads that are predominately commercial and less residential and other factors. Why this matters: • match rate can be unacceptably low for use in geocoding • location-based analyses inhibited by lower coverage addresses • absence of names and addresses limits ability for labeling in map views Other limitations include omission of line/road segments when in fact roads do exist and road segments that are geometrically incorrect. Not covered in this section, see visual/map examples in this related section. TIGER 2014 all lines shapefiles (34.6GB) include 70 million segments: • approximately 45 million segments are roads. • among road segments, 31.8 million segments have a populated name field; the remaining 13.2 million have no name assigned. • among road segments, 18.7 million segments have a populated left-side low address field; the remaining 26.3 million segments have no address in the left-side low address field. Data for each of these fields and others are provided for each county in the interactive table below.

TIGER is used by the Census Bureau to support the mapping and related geographic activities required by the decennial and economic censuses and statistical survey programs. TIGER/Line shapefiles are available for public use and are typically used to provide the digital map base for GIS (Geographic Information System) and mapping applications. TIGER/Line files are digital, vector-based point, line and polygon shapefiles and related files. TIGER/Line shapefiles do not contain any demographic or other subject matter data though wide-ranging subject matter data can be knit-together with the shapefiles.
