      <attraccr>Attribute data was copied directly from TIGER files and Census Public Law 94-171 redistricting population count databases.  The State Library has only spot checked a few block group polygons against the PL 94-171 database, but found no reason to believe that any data was joined incorrectly.  It is beyond the scope of this report to discuss the accuracy of the 2000 Census population counts.
