The geography look ups are created from the US census shapefiles, which are in Global Coordinate System North American Datum of 1983 (GCS NAD83). The coordinates do not get reprojected during processing. The "centroid_lng", "centroid_lat" columns in the lookup table are the exact values from the US census shapefile (INTPTLON, INTPTLAT). The "bbox_arr" column is calculated from the bounding box/extent of the original geometry in the shapefile; no reprojection or transformations are done to the geometry.
