Polygon vector map data covering city boundaries for Chicago, Illinois, containing 1 feature.
Boundary GIS (Geographic Information System) data is spatial information that delineates the geographic boundaries of specific geographic features..
This data typically includes polygons representing the outlines of these features, along with attributes such as names, codes, and other relevant information.
Boundary GIS data is used for a variety of purposes across multiple industries, including urban planning, environmental management, public health, transportation, and business analysis.
Available for viewing and sharing as a map in a Koordinates map viewer. This data is also available for export to DWG for CAD, PDF, KML, CSV, and GIS data formats, including Shapefile, MapInfo, and Geodatabase.
This file corrects several problems in the original TIGER/line files, notably the inclusion of parts of Lake Michigan within the city limits, and the numerous irregularities that are a function of the way the TIGER/line files were created. This file will consequently not line up with TIGER/line streets or tracts; it will line up with the 1992 ward boundary file. Its author is Christopher Siciliano.

This map and corresponding dataset provide the location, satellite images and square footage of existing green roofs within the City of Chicago. This information is derived from an analysis of high-spatial resolution (50cm), pan-sharpened, ortho-rectified, 8-band multi-spectral satellite images collected by Digital Globe’s Worldview-2 satellite. The City supplied the consultant with a 2009 City boundary shapefile to determine the required extent of the imagery. Acquisition of three different strips of imagery corresponding to the satellite’s paths was required. These strips of imagery spanned three consecutive months and were collected in August 2010 (90% coverage), September 2010 (5% coverage) and October 2010 (5% coverage). The results of the analysis include overall count of vegetated roofs, their total square footage, and the ratio of required to elective vegetated roofs. A total of 359 vegetated roofs were identified within the City of Chicago. The total square footage of these vegetated roofs was calculated to be approximately 5,469,463 square feet. The ratio of required vegetated roofs to elective vegetative roofs was 297:62 (~5:1). The median size of the vegetated roofs was calculated to be 5,234 square feet.

Zoning district boundaries by type and classification.Chicago is divided into zoning districts that regulate land use activities across the city. Data is based on the Chicago Zoning Ordinance and Land Use Ordinance (https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/chicago/latest/chicagozoning_il/0-0-0-48006). Zoning Types are defined in this ordinance. For additional information about business uses, review the License/Zoning Reference (LZR) Guide (http://bit.ly/vvGzne), which is based on the Municipal Code and is intended to assist business owners in determining the proper zoning district and primary business license for specific business types.

Preference boundaries for selected charter schools in the Chicago Public Schools district for school year 2020-2021.
