The Digital City Map (DCM) data represents street lines and other features shown on the City Map, which is the official street map of the City of New York. The City Map consists of 5 different sets of maps, one for each borough, totaling over 8000 individual paper maps. The DCM datasets were created in an ongoing effort to digitize official street records and bring them together with other street information to make them easily accessible to the public. The Digital City Map (DCM) is comprised of seven datasets; Digital City Map, Street Center Line, City Map Alterations, Arterial Highways and Major Streets, Street Name Changes (areas), Street Name Changes (lines), and Street Name Changes (points). All of the Digital City Map (DCM) datasets are featured on the Streets App All previously released versions of this data are available at BYTES of the BIG APPLE- Archive

This map shows the incidence of seven major felonies -- burglary, felony assault, grand larceny, grand larceny of a motor vehicle, murder, rape, and robbery -- in New York City over the past year. Data can be mapped in aggregate at the precinct level, as a heat map showing concentration of crimes, or as individual incident points.

This dataset compiles a comprehensive database containing 90,327 street segments in New York City, covering their street design features, streetscape design, Vision Zero treatments, and neighborhood land use. It has two scales-street and street segment group (aggregation of same type of street at neighborhood). This dataset is derived based on all publicly available data, most from NYC Open Data. The detailed methods can be found in the published paper, Pedestrian and Car Occupant Crash Casualties Over a 9-Year Span of Vision Zero in New York City.

This map shows a comparable measure of crime in the United States. The crime index compares the average local crime level to that of the United States as a whole. An index of 100 is average. A crime index of 120 indicates that crime in that area is 20 percent above the national average.The crime data is provided by Applied Geographic Solutions, Inc. (AGS). AGS created models using the FBI Uniform Crime Report databases as the primary data source and using an initial range of about 65 socio-economic characteristics taken from the 2000 Census and AGS’ current year estimates. The crimes included in the models include murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, theft, and motor vehicle theft. The total crime index incorporates all crimes and provides a useful measure of the relative “overall” crime rate in an area. However, these are unweighted indexes, meaning that a murder is weighted no more heavily than a purse snatching in the computations. The geography depicts states, counties, Census tracts and Census block groups. An urban/rural "mask" layer helps you identify crime patterns in rural and urban settings. The Census tracts and block groups help identify neighborhood-level variation in the crime data.------------------------The Civic Analytics Network collaborates on shared projects that advance the use of data visualization and predictive analytics in solving important urban problems related to economic opportunity, poverty reduction, and addressing the root causes of social problems of equity and opportunity.

The Georeferenced NYC Zoning Maps raster dataset is intended to be a spatial representation of the entire zoning map catalog for the City of New York as one seamless citywide raster zoning map sans title blocks. These maps are normally maintained as 126 individual quarter sections and printed periodically for inclusion in Vol III of the City's 2019 Zoning Resolution. This dataset encompasses recent changes to mapped zoning districts or zoning text amendments as they are adopted by the City Council as well as filed City Map changes. All previously released versions of this data are available on the DCP Website: BYTES of the BIG APPLE. Current version: 202508

This map features a topographical map of the City and County of New York, and the adjacent Country from 1836.

Citywide streets and other features (pierhead, bulkhead, etc.) shown on the official City Map of New York City. Street lines unmapped streets that are NOT found on the City Map are included in this dataset for context and informational purposes only. An exhaustive record of mapped city streets, parks and public places, pierhead and bulkhead lines and borough and city boundaries digitized from georeferenced Borough Final Section maps (except Staten Island), alteration maps, zoning maps, and other reference data including: LION, Digital Tax Map (DTM), United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), pierhead and bulkhead line maps, aerial images and Google Streetview. Record streets and unmapped streets are included in this dataset for context and informational purposes only. This dataset is featured on the Department of City Planning's Street Map application: https:/streets.planning.nyc.gov/

This dataset includes all valid felony, misdemeanor, and violation crimes reported to the New York City Police Department (NYPD) for all complete quarters so far this year (2016). For additional details, please see the attached data dictionary in the ‘About’ section.

Access current and historical zoning map PDFs for each quartersection. Archived maps include all zoning changes since 1961.About the MapsZoning maps show the boundaries of zoning districts throughout the city. The maps are regularly updated after the City Planning Commission and the City Council have approved proposed zoning changes. The set of 126 maps, which are part of the Zoning Resolution, are displayed in 35 sections. Each section is identified by a number from 1 to 35 and is further divided into one to four quarters, each identified by a letter a, b, c or d (map 8d or 33c for example). Each map covers an area of approximately 8,000 feet (north/south) by 12,500 feet (east/west).Zoning District BoundariesEach district is bounded by heavy solid lines. Where a boundary is not the centerline of a street, the distance between the boundary and street line (front lot line) is usually marked on the map. Where it is not marked, the boundary parallel to the long dimension of a block is the centerline of the block. Where the boundary is parallel to the short dimension of the block, the distance between the boundary and street line is as shown in the table below. (See Section 76-00 of the Zoning Resolution.)Note the zoning district in which the property is located. A letter identifies general use categories-R for residence districts, C for commercial districts and M for manufacturing districts. The first number after R generally indicates bulk and parking controls; the numbers after C or M refer to the range of permitted uses and, in most cases, bulk and parking controls.

This map features a topographical map of the City and County of New York, and the adjacent Country from 1836.Most striking to anyone familiar with modern-dayManhattan gmap might be the topography. Before y'all had one of the densest, greatest cities on earth, you had a verdant, topologically prominent island of bluffs and trees.Map is by Longmeadow, Mass' most famous cartographer J.H. Colton.

This forest patch layer was created using a 2017 high-resolution urban tree canopy map of New York City derived from LiDAR and NAIP imagery (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Environment/Tree-Canopy-Change-2010-2017-/by9k-vhck). To identify forest area, tree canopy over impervious surfaces was first subtracted from the canopy layer, including buildings and roads identified from planimetric data available from New York City (https://opendata.cityofnewyork.us/). Morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA; Vogt et al. 2007) was then used to distinguish forest patches from remaining tree canopy using an edge parameter of 15 m based on observed changes in vegetation composition and structure (Baker, unpublished data). MSPA applies the edge parameter to distinguish interiors (i.e. ‘cores’) from surrounding edges, as well as five other morphometric primitives (i.e. branches, bridges, loops, and islets) that reflect how canopy is or is not connected to cores. Patches always include core areas and their surrounding edges, as well as any perforations. Patches are separated into two size classes: Forested Natural Areas are patches with greater core area and thickness than Groves.Patches are classified by land ownership categories using local parcel data available from New York City (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/Primary-Land-Use-Tax-Lot-Output-PLUTO-/64uk-42ks/data). Ownership categories include: Federal, State, Municipal, Commercial/Industrial, Institutional, and Private Residential owners. Parcels with unknown ownership were assigned Municipal ownership.Vogt P, Riitters K H, Estreguil C, Kozak J, Wade T G and Wickham J D 2007 Mapping spatial patterns with morphological image processing Landsc.
