I have been doing GIS work for quite a while and I do hate to download data from multiple sites every time. So I decide to collect those commonly geospatial data and make my own database. Of course, like all open-source people do, I’d love to share my work with you. The first release is the U.S. nationwide U.S. boundary. This dataset include nation, state, county, place, census block, and census tract. The source data come from U.S. Census Bureau and you can find the metadata here.
Multiple formats provided: shapefile, geojson, and a postgis database dump.
