Current geography is essential for timely, relevant analysis. Precisely's data is based on the most up-to-date roster of geographical boundaries and definitions available at the time of development, including:
- US Census 2020 geographies based on 2023 TIGER/Line boundaries (with updated coastlined boundaries). 2023 TIGER/Line data includes the new county-equivalent planning regions in Connecticut and updated Place boundaries.
- Core Based Statistical Areas (CBSA); Office of Management and Budget, March 2020)
- 2023-2024 Designated Market Area Regions (DMARs)
- ZIP Codes based on version 2024.05 of Precisely's ZIP Code Boundaries and Centroids (utilizing ZIP Code boundaries where available and supplementing with ZIP Code points where boundaries are not available in the input products)
The text format delivery file contains additional boundary text files for census-based geography levels. The geometry of each boundary is represented in Well Known Text (WKT) format. These files are located in the data > census_boundaries folder of the delivery file.
