geodjango-tigerline Description

geodjango-tigerline is intended to make it easier to add TIGER/Line data to a GeoDjango project and save people from writing this same code over and over (collectively).It is not (yet) exhaustive, it's just what I had and have needed in the past. If you have models / load scripts for other data in the set, please fork/add and send me a pull request if you add other shapefiles. If you come up with useful manager methods, I'd love to see those too.*NOTE: If you need cities, the best source for that is the US National Atlas. I have an app for those at https://github.com/adamfast/usgsdata-citiesx020It's been tested and used with Django 1.1 to 1.4 and PostGIS + PostgreSQL. ORM freezing South migrations are included as well, I'm currently using the 0.7.3 version.InstallDownload the 2010 Tigerline files for all zipcodes, all states, and all countieshttp://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles2010/main* Zipcode Tabulation Areas (for all states)* States (and Equivalents) (for all states)* Counties (and Equivalents) (for all states)Unzip the filesConfigure django.contrib.gis as described in the django docs.Add "django.contrib.gis" and "tigerline" to INSTALLED_APPSrun `python manage.py syncdb` or `python manage.py migrate` as approporiateIf you want to import all three:run `python manage.py load_tigerline --path=~/Path/to/shapefiles`Or there are individual management commands if you only need one set:run `python manage.py load_counties --path=~/Path/to/shapefiles`run `python manage.py load_states --path=~/Path/to/shapefiles`run `python manage.py load_zipcodes --path=~/Path/to/shapefiles`Product's homepage
