The data set provides information for regulators, planners, and others interested in Land Use changes, and allows them to quantify those changes over time using GIS. This data set is intended to serve as a resource data set. When a parcel has multiple land uses, the dominant land use is shown. Assessing records and orthophotography were the main sources used to attribute each tax parcel with land use information. The City of Newport News may change the parcel based polygon coding based on more in depth analysis and field inspection.

The National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) data incorporates all Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) databases published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and any Letters of Map Revision (LOMRs) that have been issued against those databases since their publication date. It is updated on a monthly basis. The FIRM Database is the digital, geospatial version of the flood hazard information shown on the published paper FIRMs. The FIRM Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The FIRM Database is derived from Flood Insurance Studies (FISs), previously published FIRMs, flood hazard analyses performed in support of the FISs and FIRMs, and new mapping data, where available. The FISs and FIRMs are published by FEMA.

The Newport News State House data set includes polygons which represent the boundaries for each of the three State House districts, 92nd, 93rd, 94th and 95th. Each resident of Newport News has one State House representative, determined by the electoral district in which their residence falls.For more information please visit the City Voter Registrar website.

This layer includes only building footprints where final elevation certificates are available, with all elevations reported in NAVD 1988. Where necessary, conversions from NGVD 1929 to NAVD 1988 were completed using the VERTCON v2.1 program (NOAA NGS, 2018). Elevation certificates were collected from the following 10 localities: (1)Chesapeake, (2)Franklin, (3)Hampton, (4)James City County, (5)Newport News, (6)Norfolk, (7)Portsmouth, (8)Southampton County, (9)Virginia Beach, and (10)York County. All elevation certificate information was entered by HRPDC staff. Localities included in the current inventory were able to provide digital elevation certificate copies. This inventory is not complete for the region, and elevation certificates will continue to be added to the database when available. Building footprints are courtesy of VGIN map service and locality GIS departments. Building attributes and parcels are courtesy of the Hampton Roads Regional Parcels layer and locality GIS departments. Current flood zones are courtesy of the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, with base flood elevations reported in NAVD 1988 where available. Created 2/8/2019

This map service displays noise level contours around the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport. Noise contours are a series of lines superimposed on a map of the airport’s area. These lines represent various DNL (Day-Night Sound Level) levels at 65, 70, and 75 decibels (dBA). DNL noise contours are used for several purposes.Noise contours highlight existing or potential areas of significant aircraft noise exposure (as defined by the FAA).Noise contours are used to assess the relative aircraft noise exposure levels of different runway and/or flight corridor alternatives.Noise contours provide guidance to political jurisdictions in the development of land use control measures. These measures include zoning ordinances, subdivision regulations, building codes, and airport overlay zones.

This map service represents paved areas for the City of Newport News, VA.

The 2020 Census data only includes basic information about total population, race, housing occupancy and group quarters. No long form census was done for this Census cycle. A Census Block Group is a geographical unit used by the United States Census Bureau which is between the Census Tract and the Census Block. It is the smallest geographical unit for which the bureau publishes sample data, i.e. data which is only collected from a fraction of all households. A BG usually covers a contiguous area. Each census tract contains at least one BG, and BGs are uniquely numbered within census tract. Within the standard census geographic hierarchy, BGs never cross county or census tract boundaries, but may cross the boundaries of other geographic entities like county subdivisions, places, urban areas, voting districts, congressional districts, and American Indian / Alaska Native / Native Hawaiian areas. BGs have a valid code range of 0 through 9. BGs coded 0 were intended to only include water area, no land area, and they are generally in territorial seas, coastal water, and Great Lakes water areas.
