Description:
Abstract:
The NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis
acquired the voting districts shapefiles for the state of
North Carolina from the General Assembly/Information Systems
Division.  These data represent the boundaries of 2002
House districts in North Carolina.  Block assignments were based
on the plan presented by the NC Superior Court on May 31, 2002.
Each district is labeled with unique district identification
number.  The shapefiles were processed into ARC/INFO coverages
and projected from Decimal Degrees to Stateplane NAD83 meters
projection.
Purpose:
These data were created to display the boundaries of voting
districts, and to enable users to display voting districts
with other geographic features.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
House districts shapefiles were acquired from the General
Assembly, Information Systems Division.  Block assignments were
based on the plan presented by the NC Superior Court on May 31, 2002.
The shapefiles were converted to ARC/INFO coverages, cleaned
with a dangle and fuzzy tolerance of .0001 and projected from
Decimal Degrees projection to Stateplane NAD83 meters projection,
resulting in a statewide districts coverage.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Using ESRI's ARC/INFO GIS software, the dataset was built for arc
and polygon topology using the "build" command. The data set was then
cleaned with a fuzzy tolerance of 1 meter.  Topology has not been
edited since the last build or clean.
Completeness_Report:
These data represent the boundaries of 2002 House districts in
North Carolina.  Each district is labeled with unique district
identification number as supplied by the General Assembly,
Information Systems Division data.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
A polygon coverage depicting 2002 House voting districts classified
by the Information Services Division of the General Assembly.
The polygon attribute table (PAT) has attribute data including
the polygon internal identification number, the polygon user
identification number, the identification number of each House
district, and the number of census blocks in each
district. There are no look up tables, annotation or cartosets
for these data.
