<abstract>
This polygon feature class shows incorporated places and census designated places in Illinois as of the 2000 US census.  The data are identical to that provided by the US Census except that field names have been changed or fields deleted to conform with data already in use at the ISGS.

The attribute data include FIPS place ID, name, and type of municipality.  Boundaries are generalized from the original TIGER data.

Incorporated places recognized in decennial US census data products are those reported to the U.S. Census Bureau as legally in existence on January 1, 2000, under the laws of their respective states, as cities, boroughs, towns, and villages.

Census designated places (CDPs) are delineated for each decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places. CDPs are delineated to provide data for settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name but are not legally incorporated under the laws of the state in which they are located.

These are generalized cartographic boundaries originally produced to support the spatial geographic infrastructure for certain mapping functions within the Census Bureau&apos;s American Fact Finder and in support of the LandView Geographic Data Viewer. The data are a generalized extraction from the Census Bureau&apos;s TIGER database.  The suggested scale for use of these data is 1:5,000,000.  The data were obtained from the US Census website.
</abstract>
<purpose>
These data are appropriate for use in local and regional demographic analysis. Attributes include the name, FIPS code and type of municipality. A municipality may be composed of more than one polygon. Boundaries are subject to change and should not be considered definitive.

These data are appropriate for use in regional thematic analysis.  The data are not appropriate as a geodetic, legal or engineering base.  The data set was not and is not intended as a substitute for surveyed locations, such as can be determined by a registered Public Land Surveyor.  Although useful in a GIS as a thematic, reference, or base layer for maps, the data set has no legal basis in the definition of boundaries or property lines.

The data were downloaded in coverage format.  Coverage was converted to a shapefile using ArcMap 9.1.  Empty polygon feature class was created in SDE using field names as defined in GISDB.IL_ADMIN_Municipality_1990_Py.  Data were loaded into the SDE feature class from the shapefile using the Load dialog of ArcCatalog 9.1.  The attribute fields were mapped from shapefile to SDE feature class as follows:

PLACEPF to FIPS_PLACE
NAME to NAME
LSAD_TRANS to TYPE

Other attributes in the source were not included in the SDE feature class.

<overview>
<eaover>
Attribute items are in typical ArcSDE feature class format.  Those items requiring additional explanation are:

FIPS_PLACE
FIPS code for each census designated place or incorporated  area. A CDP comprises densely settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name, but not be legally incorporated. 

NAME
Name of the municipality

TYPE
roughly based on population differences
&lt;null&gt; - not an incorporated area (internal islands)
city - city
town - town
village - village
CDP - Census Designated Place
