MASTER ADDRESS FILE

Specialty Definition: MASTER ADDRESS FILE

Domain	Definition
Census	A computer file of every address and physical/location description known to the Census Bureau, including their geographic locations. The file was created by combining the addresses in the 1990 address file with U.S. Postal Service Delivery Sequence Files, and supplementing this with address information provided by state, local, and tribal governments. Census Bureau staff updated and supplemented the file with address information obtained by several census programs. The MAF is linked to the TIGER(r) database. The MAF was used to create the Decennial Master Address File, which provided the addresses for mailing and delivery of Census 2000 questionnaires. See Decennial Master Address File. (references)
Computing	The U. S. Census Bureau's permanent list of addresses for individual living quarters based on a combination of the 1990 MAF that is linked to the TIGER data base. The file will be continuously updated and maintained over the decade through partnerships with the postal service, Federal, state, regional, and local agencies, and the private sector to provide a basis for the 2000 census address control file and other Census Bureau efforts.
