    Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.

    CITYCODE
    Political (legal) city for the address represented by the point.

    VERSION
    Compiled from VER_DATE and VER_AGENCY

Why was the data set created?
Used primarily internally, to identify the city associated with features in other layers. This is particularly important in automatic population of fields in BPADD.

How was the data set created?
  1. From what previous works were the data drawn?

  2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

  3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?
  1. How well have the observations been checked?

  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?

  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?

  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?

  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?

    The data is calculated from preexisting PAGIS data using legally identified annexations. The information is thus consistent within data captured and constructed for PAGIS.

How can someone get a copy of the data set?
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?

Access_Constraints:
The data is available to PAGIS agencies only. Subdivisions may be available for wider use; contact PAGIS to be sure.
Use_Constraints:
This data may only be used in the applications specified. Copying or duplicating the data is strictly prohibitted.

  1. Who distributes the data set?[Distributor contact information not provided.]

  2. What's the catalog number I need to order this data set?
