USER NOTES:
GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

A note concerning data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale 
datasetsare not suitable for some project, analysis, or
modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best
available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that 
are at the county level.

1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base 
mapping such as property parcel boundaries.

1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that 
are at the multi-county or regional level.

1:250000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that 
are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should 
be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with 
your data before using it for projects or analyses. Every 
effort has been made to supply the user with data 
documentation. For additional information, see the 
References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of 
this documentation. For more information regarding scale 
and accuracy, see our web pages at:

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:
The County boundary TIGER/Line file was enhanced at the Geoplan Center by the 
addition of attribute data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety
and Motor Vehicles Traffic Crash Facts 2002. The county boundaries data layer
was acquired from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection GIS Division.

Steps taken during Geoplan QAQC processing:

-Dissolved FGDL cntbnd shapefile based on NAME
-Deleted AREA, PERIMETER, and FGDLCODE fields from attribute table
-Added BI_1998, BI_1999, BI_2000, BI_2001, BI_2002, BF_1998, BF_1999
 BF_2000, BF_2001, and BF_2002 fields to attribute table
-Added data per county from Traffic Crash Stats 2002
-TOTAL_POP, AGE_18_UP, and UNDER_18 were joined to the attribute
 table from the FGDL cntbdem shapefile.
-Added DESCRIPT field based on NAME to attribute table
