The Census BAS• The Census Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS) produces
boundary products as part of their TIGER datasets• In states without state authority for boundary submissions, Census
polls localities each year the Survey is performed to solicit updates of boundaries from individual localities (paper and/or digital)
• Census decides updates to accept, and topologically integrate them into their TIGER boundaries
• TIGER boundaries are intended for use with Census products, and as a national product data may be changed in the integration process to ensure a seamless product
