Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing, or TIGER, or TIGER/Line is a format used by the United States Census Bureau to describe land attributes such as roads, buildings, rivers, and lakes, as well as areas such as census tracts.

Development The game's producers, Yuichiro Saito and Yoshinori Terasawa, found out about the game at the Japanese indie game developer gathering ; they were intrigued by the idea of combining gameplay with forced scrolling, and found the game fun to play. At first they considered porting the game to consoles, but as the original version of the game was available to play for free, they instead thought of ways to expand and improve on it; eventually they asked the developer of One Way Heroics for permission to develop a new game from scratch, with One Way Heroics as the foundation.The game was released for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita by Spike Chunsoft on July 30, 2015 in Japan.

The TIGER files do not contain the census demographic data, but merely the geospatial/map data. GIS can be used to merge census demographics or other data sources with the TIGER files to create maps and conduct analysis. TIGER data is available without cost because U.S. Government publications are required to be released into the public domain.

Coverage[edit]

The TIGER/Line shapefile data includes complete coverage of the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Midway Islands.

TIGER includes both land features such as roads, rivers, and lakes, as well as areas such as counties, census tracts, and census blocks.

Future[edit]

TIGER data published through February 2007 (2006 Second Edition) were in a custom text-based format formally known as TIGER/Line files. In 2008, data in shapefile format was published. The Census Bureau has made the data available through WMS servers.^[2] The data forms a base for OpenStreetMap in the USA, and also was used for the initial import of US map data into the Waze navigation system.
