The United States Census Bureau regularly releases
a geodatabase named TIGER. This dataset contains the 2010 censusblock groups,
which is a cluster of blocks within the same census tract that have the same
first digit of their four-digit census block number. There are just over
300,000 polygon features covering the United States, the District
of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the
Island areas.
