20220614 08205800 1.0 TRUE State Boundaries This dataset provides eight feature classes. The base feature class is called States_st and isn't generalized. The weighted centroids feature class is called States_st_cent. The centroids are weighted by the U.S. Block Centroids population distribution. Use the weighted centroids in report aggregation and spatial overlay operations. The States_st and States_st_cent feature classes contain all the attributes. There are six generalized boundaries feature classes and called: States_st_gen2, States_st_gen3, States_st_gen4, States_st_gen5, States_st_gen6 and States_st_gen7. These generalized features classes are provided to be used in mapping applications where very detailed feature classes can slow down performance. Esri; U.S. Census Bureau
