Payette County Topological Face Polygons With 2022 Census Geocodes

2022 TIGER/Line shapefile of topological face polygons for Payette County, Idaho, produced by the U.S. Census Bureau. Each polygon face includes key geographic area codes used for Census data tabulation and can be dissolved to build geometries for various statistical areas.

Use Cases

• Dissolve face geometries using key geographic area codes like Census Tract Number to build custom statistical area boundaries.
• Join face data with other datasets using the unique topological face identifier (TFID) for spatial analysis.
• Analyze the distribution of geographic codes such as County Fips Code or 5 digit zip code tabulation area code across the county's topological faces.

Strengths

• Data is part of the Census Bureau's seamless national Master Address File/TIGER Database with no overlaps or gaps.
• Each topological face includes key geographic area codes for all areas used in 2020 Census and annual surveys.
• Shapefiles are designed to stand alone for a single county or be combined to cover the entire United States.

Limitations

• The dataset is specific to Payette County, Idaho, limiting broader geographic analysis without combining other county files.
• Sample data and specific row/column counts are unavailable, making initial assessment of data volume and structure difficult.
• The description lacks details on potential data staleness for areas with recent boundary changes post-2022.
