A Active governmental unit, except American Indian reservations and Alaska
Native village statistical areas. An active governmental unit has
the legal capacity to have officers, to raise revenue, and to conduct
governmental activities under State laws, and currently is doing so.
B Functioning governmental unit providing no substantive governmental
services.--These areas may be coextensive with and administered by
officials of another governmental unit (such as towns in Connecticut
that are coextensive with cities), or the number of officials and/or
the functions they perform are so minimal and/or vestigial that the
Census Bureau does not recognize them as governmental units for census
purposes (such as townships in Iowa).
F False entity.--In order to maintain complete coverage of every State at
the county level and of every county at the county subdivision level,
we create false entities at these levels for any place that is
independent of a county or independent of a minor civil division (MCD).
This code also is used for place records that represent the remainder
of a consolidated city or the remainder of a county subdivision.
I Inactive governmental unit.--An inactive governmental unit has the legal
capacity to be active, but currently has no legal officers, raises no
revenues, and conducts no activities.
N Nonfunctioning governmental unit. A nonfunctioning governmental unit
has legally established boundaries, but has no legal capacity to
conduct governmental activity.
R An American Indian reservation, an American Indian tribe whose name is
associated with trust lands, or an Alaska Native village statistical
area.
S Statistical entity, except Alaska Native village statistical areas and
tribal jurisdiction statistical areas. A statistical entity
has no governmental status and is defined by or in cooperation with the
Census Bureau or other Federal agency. This category includes census
regions, census divisions, census county divisions (CCDs), census
designated places (CDPs), metropolitan areas (MSA/CMSA/PMSAs),
urbanized areas (UAs), unorganized territories (UTs), tribal designated
statistical areas (TDSAs), census areas and census subareas in Alaska,
and comunidades and zonas urbanas in Puerto Rico.
T Tribal jurisdiction statistical area. A tribal jurisdiction
statistical area (TJSA) is not a legally defined governmental unit, but
is recognized as a statistical area for the 1990 census. These areas
exist only in the State of Oklahoma and were not recognized separately
in 1980.

FOOTNOTES
1. A unique identifier for each file series. Dress rehearsal files have
a "D" in the character following the last character in the file
identification code for the equivalent 1990 decennial census file; for
example, PL94171D is the identifier for the dress rehearsal file for
the P.L. 94-171 data. File identification code for the P.L. 94-171
file is PL94171. File identification codes for summary tape files are
STFnn where nn = file number; for example, STF1A is the identification
for Summary Tape File 1A. File identification codes for subject
summary tape files are SSTFnn where nn = the number of the subject
report. File identification codes for special project files are
identified by SPmmm where mmm = a three digit special project number.
See How to Use This File for further information.
2. Identifies the geographic level for which the data matrices on the
summary tape file have been summarized. The summary level sequence
chart describes the hierarchical arrangement of the specified
geographic areas with other geographic areas, if any. The summary
level must be used in combination with the geographic area codes to
identify a specific geographic area (for example, summary level 050 and
a specific county code must be used together to locate the data for a
particular county). See How to Use This File for further information.
3. Indicates an iteration (repetition), for the specified summary level,
of the data matrices on the summary tape file for the geographic
components listed in the Geographic Component field. See How To Use
This File for further information.
4. Indicates an iteration (repetition), for the specified summary level,
of the data matrices on the summary tape file for a population or
housing characteristic. Only matrices containing a "B" in the prefix
have characteristic iterations. See How to Use This File for further
information.
5. The logical record is the complete record [identification and set of
tables (matrices)] for a geographic entity defined by the summary
level, but exclusive of the characteristic iteration. A logical record
may have one or more parts (or segments). Each logical record has an
assigned sequential integer number within the file. See How to Use
This File for further information.
6. Within the logical record, each part is identified uniquely in terms of
its sequence. See How to Use This File for further information.
7. This field identifies how many parts (or segments) comprise the entire
logical record. See How to Use This File for further information.
8. See appendix A, Area Classifications, for definition of this field if
it is applicable to this file.
9. See the publication, Geographic Identification Code Scheme, for codes
in this field and related terminology if it is applicable to this file.
See appendix A, Area Classifications, for definition of this field if
it is applicable to this file.
10. See the publication, Geographic Identification Code Scheme, for FIPS 55
codes in this field and related terminology if it is applicable to this
file. See appendix A, Area Classifications, for definition of this
field if it is applicable to this file.
11. Codes in unspecified arrangement for Census Bureau use.
12. Land area measurement in thousandths (.001) of a square kilometer. The
accuracy of the area measurement is limited by the inaccuracy inherent
in 1) the mapping of the various boundary features in the TIGER File
and 2) rounding affecting the last digit in all operations that compute
and/or sum the area measurements. Land area includes intermittent
water and glaciers, which appear on census maps and in the TIGER File
as hydrographic features. An area of .0005 square kilometer is rounded
to .001; an area smaller than .0005 is rounded to .000. The decimal
point is implied on the file. Square miles can be derived by dividing
square kilometers by 2.59. See appendix A, Area Classifications, for
definition of this field if it is applicable to this file.
13. Water area measurement in thousandths (.001) of a square kilometer.
Water area is excluded from census blocks by definition, so the water
area for a block always will be zero. The accuracy of the area
measurement is limited by the inaccuracy inherent in 1) the mapping of
the various boundary features in the TIGER File and 2) rounding
affecting the last digit in all operations that compute and/or sum the
area measurements. Water area excludes intermittent water and
glaciers, which are treated as land even though they appear on census
maps and in the TIGER File as hydrographic features. An area of .0005
square kilometer is rounded to .001; an area smaller than .0005 is
rounded to .000. The decimal point is implied on the file. Square
miles can be derived by dividing square kilometers by 2.59. See
appendix A, Area Classifications, for definition of this field if it is
applicable to this file.
14. Name of the lowest-level entity represented by the summary level. In
addition to the name of the entity, the name field contains the
political/statistical area description (PSAD) when appropriate, and
sometimes contains the State abbreviation.
For legal entities, the name is the one reported to the Bureau of the
Census in the Boundary and Annexation Survey and by other appropriate
sources; for statistical entities, the name is determined by the Office
of Management and Budget for metropolitan areas and, for other areas,
the name is determined by the Bureau of the Census, usually in
cooperation with local officials.
When the summary level represents only part of the area specified in
the name, the name usually will have "(pt.)" appended to the name/code
terminology to designate that this entry for the entity represents only
a part of the total entity.
15. The total number of housing units enumerated in the specified summary
level as determined in the 100-percent processing.
16. Latitude in degrees, to six decimal places, of a point within the
geographic area represented by the summary level. The decimal point is
implied on the file. The character immediately preceding the first
digit of the latitude of an internal point identifies the direction
(hemisphere): a plus sign (+) indicates the Northern Hemisphere; a
minus sign (-) indicates the Southern Hemisphere. See appendix A, Area
Classifications, for definition of this field if it is applicable to
this file.
17. Longitude in degrees, to six decimal places, of a point with the
geographic area represented by the summary level. The decimal point is
implied on the file. The character immediately preceding the first
digit of the longitude of an internal point identifies the direction
(hemisphere): a plus sign (+) indicates the Eastern Hemisphere; a
minus sign (-) indicates the Western Hemisphere. A point on the 180th
meridian is assigned to the Western Hemisphere (-180000000). See
appendix A, Area Classifications, for definition of this field if it is
applicable to this file.
18. The total number of persons enumerated in the specified summary level
as determined in the 100-percent processing.
