Colorado 2010 Census Block TIGER GIS data available on State Demography Office website

As part of our continuing effort to provide population and demographic information, the State Demography Office (SDO) has available, on our website the current version of Processed 2010 TIGER Data available at the block level. 

TIGER is a trademarked Census Bureau digital database of geographic features.  The user of TIGER data must have Geographic Information System (GIS) software because TIGER data is not a graphical image of a map.  The processed TIGER data from the SDO can be used (in conjunction with the GIS) to map block, tract, place, and county level geography.  Demographic analysis of population and housing units can be done with this data as well.  The TIGER line files have been processed with Total Population and Housing Unit information from the PL94-171 Summary File.  The user may also choose to add additional attributes from the PL94-171 tables.   

Please visit the State Demography 2010 Processed TIGER GIS page at http://dola.colorado.gov/gis/tiger2010.html for links to the technical documentation and data downloads. Please contact Sheila Dorrell at sheila.dorrell@state.co.us or 303-866-5433 for further information.
