U.S. Census Block Centroid Populations represents the populations of the U.S. Census blocks for United States. U.S. Census blocks are the smallest geographic entities within a county for which the Census Bureau tabulates population.
Logical consistency: The shapefile is converted to SDC (Smart Data Compression) format using either Esri SDC Data Development Kit Professional 2 (DDKP2) or tools in ArcGIS. The SDC data set is then loaded into ArcSDEĀ® to verify and validate the geometry. Horizontal position accuracy: The geospatial part of this data set was calculated from latitude/longitude coordinates. The horizontal positional accuracy is unknown. Other data details: After processing, the data set is checked for drawing display and number of records and file sizes compared with source materials.
