Description:

The Place Name Master File is a file containing the "master" list of place names with

unincorporated places linked to enumeration areas are also included.
("Unincorporated Places" refers to a cluster of five or more permanently occupied
dwellings in a rural area.)

Datasets:

The Data are available in ASCII format. They contain the Standard Geographical Classification
(SGC) codes and partly enumeration area(EA) codes. In the TDR the following products are
