The dataset contains polygons representing boundaries of District of Columbia 2022 election Wards. Boundaries include Census 2020 demographic data for population, age, race and housing. In the United States Census, Wards are the area name-Legal Statistical Area Description (LSAD) Term-Part Indicator for the District of Columbia.

Occupancy status, Units, Rooms, Year built, Owner/Renter (Tenure), Mortgage/Rent costs, and more. This service is updated annually with American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year data. Contact: District of Columbia, Office of Planning. Email: planning@dc.gov. Geography: 2022 Wards (State Legislative Districts [Upper Chamber])Current Vintage: 2019-2023 ACS Table(s): DP04. Data downloaded from: Census Bureau's API for American Community Survey. Date of API call: January 2, 2025. National Figures: data.census.gov. Please cite the Census and ACS when using this data. Data Note from the Census: Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables. Data Processing Notes: This layer is updated automatically when the most current vintage of ACS data is released each year, usually in December. The layer always contains the latest available ACS 5-year estimates. It is updated annually within days of the Census Bureau's release schedule. Boundaries come from the US Census TIGER geodatabases. Boundaries are updated at the same time as the data updates (annually), and the boundary vintage appropriately matches the data vintage as specified by the Census. These are Census boundaries with water and/or coastlines clipped for cartographic purposes. For census tracts, the water cutouts are derived from a subset of the 2020 AWATER (Area Water) boundaries offered by TIGER. For state and county boundaries, the water and coastlines are derived from the coastlines of the 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles. The original AWATER and ALAND fields are still available as attributes within the data table (units are square meters). Field alias names were created based on the Table Shells file available from the American Community Survey Summary File Documentation page. Data processed using R statistical package and ArcGIS Desktop. Margin of Error was not included in this layer but is available from the Census Bureau. Contact the Office of Planning for more information about obtaining Margin of Error values.

This data set describes Neighborhood Clusters that have been used for community planning and related purposes in the District of Columbia for many years. It does not represent boundaries of District of Columbia neighborhoods. Cluster boundaries were established in the early 2000s based on the professional judgment of the staff of the Office of Planning as reasonably descriptive units of the City for planning purposes. Once created, these boundaries have been maintained unchanged to facilitate comparisons over time, and have been used by many city agencies and outside analysts for this purpose. (The exception is that 7 “additional” areas were added to fill the gaps in the original dataset, which omitted areas without significant neighborhood character such as Rock Creek Park, the National Mall, and the Naval Observatory.) The District of Columbia does not have official neighborhood boundaries. The Office of Planning provides a separate data layer containing Neighborhood Labels that it uses to place neighborhood names on its maps. No formal set of standards describes which neighborhoods are included in that dataset.Whereas neighborhood boundaries can be subjective and fluid over time, these Neighborhood Clusters represent a stable set of boundaries that can be used to describe conditions within the District of Columbia over time.

Crashes on the roadway blocks network of Washington, DC maintained by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT). In addition to locations, a related table consisting of crash details is available for each crash. This table provides some anonymized information about each of the persons involved in the crash (linked by CRASHID). These crash data are derived from the Metropolitan Police Department's (MPD) crash data management system (COBALT) and represent DDOT's attempt to summarize some of the most requested elements of the crash data. Further, DDOT has attempted to enhance this summary by locating each crash location along the DDOT roadway block line, providing a number of location references for each crash. In the event that location data is missing or incomplete for a crash, it is unable to be published within this dataset. Location points with some basic summary statistics,The DC ward the crash occurredSummary totals for: injuries (minor, major, fatal) by type (pedestrian, bicycle, car), mode of travel involved (pedestrian, bicycle, car), impaired participants (pedestrian, bicyclist, car passengers)If speeding was involvedNearest intersecting street nameDistance from nearest intersectionCardinal direction from the intersectionRead more at https://ddotwiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/GIS0225/pages/2053603429/Crash+Data.

This map displays blocks that are part of the RPP program. This map does not necessarily display areas with available RPP parking. Some blocks where residents are eligible for an RPP Permit may have meters or other signage that restrict the usage of RPP Permits.

RPP Permits and Visitor Parking Permits (VPPs) allow parking at green and red RPP zone signs. Please review and follow on-street signage and parking regulations to avoid receiving a citation.

The Permit Status application helps citizens locate a permit and obtain information about permitted activities in their community from their smart phone, tablet or PC. This application is used by constituents within District of Columbia, but can also be used by NGOs, contractors or internal Department staff to locate a permit by permit number.To locate a permit, simply enter an address, or Ward in the search box. Or, you can use your current location to find a permit near you. The application will then zoom to the location on the map and relevant information about the permitted or pending permits will be presented to you.

The dataset contains a subset of locations and attributes of incidents reported in the ASAP (Analytical Services Application) crime report database by the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). Visit https://crimecards.dc.gov for more information. This data is shared via an automated process where addresses are geocoded to the District's Master Address Repository and assigned to the appropriate street block. Block locations for some crime points could not be automatically assigned resulting in 0,0 for x,y coordinates. These can be interactively assigned using the MAR Geocoder.On February 1 2020, the methodology of geography assignments of crime data was modified to increase accuracy. From January 1 2020 going forward, all crime data will have Ward, ANC, SMD, BID, Neighborhood Cluster, Voting Precinct, Block Group and Census Tract values calculated prior to, rather than after, anonymization to the block level. This change impacts approximately one percent of Ward assignments.

Why This Matters

Living further from full-service grocery stores can force residents to shop for food at locations that are more expensive or have fewer healthy options, leading to worse health outcomes for conditions such as obesity or diabetes.

Beyond basic nutrition, food is an integral part of culture. Having access to a wide array of culturally relevant foods has been shown to improve well-being among Black, Indigenous, and people of color communities.

Across the United States, predominantly-Black communities have fewer supermarkets than predominantly white and Hispanic communities. A pattern of disinvestment limits the availability of fresh and healthy foods.

The District Response

The Food Access Fund (FAF) Grant increases equitable access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food by supporting the opening of new grocery stores in areas with low food access, with priority given to locations in Ward 7 or Ward 8. The Produce Plus Program provides financial support for residents with low access to fresh foods to spend at local farmers markets.

The SUN Bucks program provides additional grocery-buying benefits to income-eligible families when schools are closed for the summer and children no longer have access to free or reduced-cost meals at school.

The DC Food Policy Council convenes six working groups, including the Food Access & Equity working group that aims to communicate and collaborate with residents to increase awareness of District food benefit programs and healthy food retail.

Farm retail outlets operating in the District of Columbia, and Montgomery and Prince George’s counties with at least one DC Produce Incentive Program-authorized farmer/vendor.
