Series Information File for the 2017 TIGER/Line Shapefile, Current State Legislative District (SLD) Lower Chamber State-based 2017 publication 2017 The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) 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). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. State Legislative Districts (SLDs) are the areas from which members are elected to State legislatures. The SLDs embody the upper (senate) and lower (house) chambers of the state legislature. Nebraska has a unicameral legislature and the District of Columbia has a single council, both of which the Census Bureau treats as upper-chamber legislative areas for the purpose of data presentation; there are no data by SLDL for either Nebraska or the District of Columbia. A unique three-character census code, identified by State participants, is assigned to each SLD within a state. In Connecticut, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, and Puerto Rico, the Redistricting Data Program (RDP) participant did not define the SLDs to cover all of the state or state equivalent area. In these areas with no SLDs defined, the code "ZZZ" has been assigned, which is treated as a single SLD for purposes of data presentation. The boundaries of the 2016 State legislative districts were provided by state-level participants through the RDP and reflect the districts used to elect members in or prior to the November 2016 election. In order for others to use the information in the Census MAF/TIGER database in a geographic information system (GIS) or for other geographic applications, the Census Bureau releases to the public extracts of the database in the form of TIGER/Line Shapefiles. notPlanned http://tigerweb.geo.census.gov/arcgis/services/TIGERweb/tigerWMS_ACS2017/MapServer/WmsServer?REQUEST=GetMap&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.3.0&LAYERS=2016 State Legislative Districts - Lower,2016 State Legislative Districts - Lower Labels&STYLES=default,default&FORMAT=image/svg+xml&BGCOLOR=0xFFFFFF&TRANSPARENT=TRUE&CRS=EPSG:4326&BBOX=42.299053,-71.408142,42.35679,-70.798861&WIDTH=891&HEIGHT=751 URL for the TigerWeb Web Mapping Service URL for the TigerWeb Web Mapping Service State or equivalent entity Polygon Legislative District theme None U.S. United States State or Equivalent Entity place ISO 3166 Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions otherRestrictions Access Constraints: None Use Constraints:The TIGER/Line Shapefile products are not copyrighted however TIGER/Line and Census TIGER are registered trademarks of the U.S. Census Bureau.
