A U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line relationship file linking geographic feature names to address ranges and road edges for Greene County, Illinois. It enables the identification of all street names associated with each address range through attributes like ARID and LINEARID. The data is part of the seamless national MAF/TIGER System.

Use Cases

• Link address ranges (ARID) to their corresponding street names (Name) for geocoding applications in Greene County.
• Relate linear features (LINEARID) to specific road edges (TLID) in the All Lines shapefile for network analysis.
• Analyze naming patterns using feature attributes like Prefix Direction Code, Suffix Type Code, and Primaryalternate Code.
