[Talk-us] TIGER 2022 PLACE dataset

[Kristin Rollins]

I don't know much about this 2022 dataset in particular, but when you speak of "improving geometries of existing [polygons]" that slightly worries me. I know one of the issues that has been found with previous TIGER imports is low-quality data. So… I personally would be wary about any use of it that didn't combine with on-the-ground knowledge.

To put it another way: how will you know that you are improving geometries instead of introducing errors to them?
