Some elements of this area of the database are not yet wholly completed, but it is certainly worth looking at. We will return to this page later. Right now, though, I want to look at the Tiger Map function. Note the first link will enable you to make a Tiger Map. The eagle icon indicates the geographic center of that particular zip code.
Zip codes are fairly large geographic entities.
The Tiger Map also allows maps to be created, and data inserted, using much smaller geographic areas, namely Census Blocks and, smaller still, Census Tracts. It also suggests to business persons wanting to open a new store what the persons in the area are able to afford. It took me approximately five minutes to create this map. Using the precise longitude and latitude data provided by the Tiger Map and the Microsoft Terra Server 's advance search engine I was able to quickly generate a photographic image of the area above. See below the photograph.
