For a long time now I’ve maintained a version of the Public Domain Census Tiger Data converted from county-level to state-level.  Over the years I’ve actually had a lot of those shape files downloaded so I’m glad they were useful to some people!

However, the Census is now putting out geopackages of there data at both the national and state levels.  I’d also like to thank the US Census for doing that as I think state-level data is way more usable than county level!

As a result, I think there’s not really a reason for me to host the state-level data any more.  I’ll still host the script to download and create a PostgreSQL/PostGIS database at my github repo, and might even get around to adding scripts to automatically process the geopackages.

So, so long my state-level Census data and thanks for all the fish!
