Possibly useful explanation?

From https://assets.nhgis.org/original-data/gis/TIGER_2009_TechDoc.pdf:

"Urban Area Central Places—The Census Bureau identifies one or more central places for each UA [Urban Area] or UC [Urban Cluster] that contains a place. Any incorporated place or census designated place (CDP) that is in the title of the urban area is a central place of that UA or UC. In addition, any other incorporated place or CDP that has an urban population of 50,000 or an urban population of at least 2,500 people and is at least two-thirds the size of the largest place within the urban area also is a central place."

So tiger:CPI=Y seems to mean that the object represents the main inhabited location for the area.

Thanks you very much for comment! I may be missing something obvious but in this quote I see nothing that would be abbreviated/acronymed to CPI Mateusz Konieczny (talk) 12:40, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
