Internal point- 7. The Census Bureau calculates an internal point (latitude and longitude 8. coordinates) for each geographic entity. For many geographic entities, 9. the internal point is at or near the geographic center of the entity. 10. For some irregularly shaped entities (such as those shaped like a 11. crescent), the calculated geographic center may be located outside 12. the boundaries of the entity. In such instances, the internal point 13. is identified as a point inside the entity boundaries nearest to the 14. calculated geographic center and, if possible, within a land polygon. 15. ------------------------------------------------ Contains data from gaz2015zcta5centroid.dta obs: 33,144 vars: 3 4 Dec 2015 14:42 size: 430,872 (_dta has notes) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- storage display value variable name type format label variable label ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- intptlat float %9.0g Latitude (decimal degrees) First character is blank or '-' denoting North or Sou intptlong float %9.0g Longitude (decimal degrees) First character is blank or '-' denoting East or Wes zcta5 str5 %9s Five digit ZIP Code Tabulation Area Census Code ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorted by: zcta5
