This will allow users to create maps and conduct spatial analyses with the data in this table.</dc:description><dc:description>This table can be joined to the "Counties and Cities &amp; Townships, Twin Cities Metropolitan Area" spatial dataset using the COCTU_CODE field (concatenation of 3-digit FIPS county code and 5-digit FIPS place code).
