Settlement points
Esri's American settlement points use U.S. Census/ TIGER 2025 block points.
Location accuracy
The U.S. ArcGIS Places datasets use geographic point data derived from latitude-longitude coordinates. Most locations can be located to rooftop or street centerline accuracy, but some can only be placed to city or ZIP/postal code centroid-level accuracy. Therefore, not all points have an exact location.
Available geographies
Esri's United States geographic boundaries consist of legal, administrative, postal, statistical, and tribal boundaries and geometric tessellations. To learn about the structure and boundaries used in Esri's U.S. and Puerto Rican geography levels, see A guide to Esri U.S. geography.
