No, the boundary data in the TIGER/Line Shapefiles are not generalized. However, generalized cartographic boundary files are available from the Census Bureau. These files are available for download from the Census Bureau’s geography website at http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/bdy_files.html. More information on these files can be found in the answer to Frequently Asked Question #28, and at http://www.census.gov/geo/www/cob/index.html.
