Abstract:
5-Digit ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTA5), WA State based on Census TIGER/Line Files, 2009 release.
Purpose: Statistical enumeration, cartographic display and analysis.
Supplemental_Information:
This data set was extracted from the TIGER/Line files, 2009 release. The geographic coverage area is based on January 1, 2000 legal boundaries in order to provide consistency with Census 2000 and specific Washington State Office of Financial Management data products. These boundaries reflect the three mile territorial limit which extends into large water bodies. The boundaries do not depict a detailed coastline. For all counties there is improved spatial accuracy as the result of the MAF/TIGER Accuracy Improvement Project. The TIGER/Line files have been modified by the Office of Financial Management (OFM) by: 1) reprojecting the data to the State's standard horizontal datum and coordinate system, 2) improving feature attribution, 3) and ensuring that the data are compatible with Census 2000 and other OFM data sets.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Accurate against Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), FIPS Publication 6-4, and FIPS-55 at the 100% level for the codes and base names. The remaining attribute information has been examined but has not been fully tested for accuracy.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The Census Bureau performed automated tests to ensure logical consistency and limits of shapefiles. Segments making up the outer and inner boundaries of a polygon tie end-to-end to completely enclose the area. All polygons are tested for closure. The Census Bureau uses its internally developed geographic update system to enhance and modify spatial and attribute data in the Census MAF/TIGER database. Standard geographic codes, such as FIPS codes for states, counties, municipalities, county subdivisions, places, American Indian/Alaska Native/Native Hawaiian areas, and congressional districts are used when encoding spatial entities. The Census Bureau performed spatial data tests for logical consistency of the codes during the compilation of the original Census MAF/TIGER database files. Most of the codes for geographic entities except states, counties, urban areas, Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs), American Indian Areas (AIAs), and congressional districts were provided to the Census Bureau by the USGS, the agency responsible for maintaining FIPS 55. Feature attribute information has been examined but has not been fully tested for consistency. For the TIGER/Line Shapefiles, the Point and Vector Object Count for the G-polygon SDTS Point and Vector Object Type reflects the number of records in the shapefile attribute table. For multi-polygon features, only one attribute record exists for each multi-polygon rather than one attribute record per individual G-polygon component of the multi-polygon feature. TIGER/Line Shapefile multi-polygons are an exception to the G-polygon object type classification. Therefore, when multi-polygons exist in a shapefile, the object count will be less than the actual number of G-polygons.
Completeness_Report:
Data completeness of the TIGER/Line Shapefiles reflects the contents of the Census MAF/TIGER database at the time the TIGER/Line Shapefiles were created.

Process_Description:
TIGER/Line Shapefiles are extracted from the Census MAF/TIGER database by nation, state, county, and entity. Census MAF/TIGER data for the nation, state, county, and entity are then distributed among 58 shapefiles each containing attributes for line, polygon, or landmark geographic data.
