+### Data Source(s) Description:
+
+These geographic boundary files have been generated from the U.S. Census Bureau [Cartographic Boundary Files](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/technical-documentation/naming-convention/cartographic-boundary-file.html), using the 500k scale variants for all geographies. All legal boundaries and names are as of January 1, 2010.

+_section in progress_
+
+The source state, county, tract, and ZCTA shapefiles include variables for the the area's geographic ID code, ID code of other relevant areas (i.e. state ID for each county ID), total land area, total water area, and geometry variables. The Census Bureau provides [full technical documentation](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/technical-documentation/complete-technical-documentation/tiger-geo-line.2018.html) for these files, including information on how to use shapefiles for GIS and spatial analysis, as well as information about the use of [geographic identifiers](https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/geography/guidance/geo-identifiers.html).
