1:100000 ArcInfo version9, Solaris 9, pathname = /home11/crypt83/counties/<countyname>/blks00, coverage size = ~3.5 MB (Penobscot sample) BLKS00 contains Census Blocks which are the smallest geographic units for which basic demographics are available from the Census Bureau. In addition, MEGIS has published five of the geographies as single themes. MCDCCD00 and VTD00 offer Census 2000 County Subdivisions and Census 2000 Voting, House, Senate and County Commissioner districts for Maine 1994-2003. CNGRSS03, HOUSE03, and SENATE03 provide single theme mapping for the new electoral districts for Maine effective 2004. All the datasets are attributed with population.
Unique-ids for each Census geographic unit can be used to relate or join these datasets to extended Census data files, counts, tabulations, and reference tables. Two such tables that relate to BLKS00 are MEGEO and BLKS00SF1, from the Bureau of Census, have been published at the MEGIS Data Catalog "Tables" link at <http://musashi.ogis.state.me.us/>. Additional tables from the Census Bureau will be published as they become available.
CAUTION: BLOCK, BLOCK GROUP, TRACT alone are not unique. The STFIDBLK00 is the unique reference for BLOCKS statewide. The item CENTAG applies only to multiple occurences of STFIDBLK00. Care must be taken to ensure referential integrity in relates and joins to the IDs provided.
