TIGER 2010 is a different beast from past TIGER products. Each county was
required to respond to the Census bureau with their addressing and centerline
data to build it. So, it is a year or more out of date, but also it is derived
mostly from existing local sources.
I'm curious what they did with the addressing. The addressing is derived from
the door to door GPSing the census bureau did for several months.

Nothing on a grand scale. A TIGER import into a pretty much blank map
is a great thing. A TIGER import into the current OSM, isn't going to
work.
On a smaller scale, I don't know. Pretty much all the TIGER data I've
ever seen is surpassed in quality by local county/state data. So if
you're going to import county by county, why bother with TIGER?
On the other hand, TIGER 2010 might be great for the CommonMap
project. (http://commonmap.info/)
