This data is intended as a reference material of street and alley vacations, but not designed for survey, accurate positioning, or legal documents. It is created as polygon feature class, vacation information based on field measurements, types of Right of Way, and citations of Journal of the Common Council (J.C.C.) and the plat Liber and Page is listed under the column titled 'Sub_Plat'. The paper maps of the Street and Alley Vacation, the raster layer version of those maps (Linen Map Markup Mosaic), and the Detroit parcel layer are used as base maps to create this data.

The street and alley vacations were recorded from 1831 to 2022 throughout the whole city, and it will be updated weekly. The existed and/or active street and alley vacations are ready to view, the authors are working on pending and historical records.

In 2009, Data Driven Detroit partnered with Living Cities, the Detroit Office of Foreclosure Prevention and Response and Community Legal Resources (Michigan Community Resources) to conduct a survey of 1-4 unit residential structures and vacant lots in the City of Detroit. Surveyors went out in the field in August and September of 2009, and following this, data were entered into a database and cleaned. The survey collected information on property type, condition, vacancy, danger to the surrounding community, fire damage, and improvements on vacant lots.For more information on the DRPS, including aggregations and maps of the original data, please visit www.detroitparcelsurvey.org.Upon request, field description metadata is also available for this dataset.

Location of different zoning codes in the city of Detroit, Michigan. Parcels sharing the same zoning code have been dissolved together, but remain separated by street boundaries. A comprehensive list of zoning code descriptions is contained in the attribute table. Data are from 2010 and may not reflect changes in the zoning code of parcels.Click here for metadata.

The Detroit Future City Strategic Framework is a land use planning document that was released in 2012. It outlines recommendations for transforming Detroit's land use policies and codes over the next fifty years, and covers a broad range of issues from economic and workforce development to transportation and green infrastructure. The shapes in this file represent the 50-year recommended land use for the City of Detroit, based on this plan. The geographies are based off of dissolved parcels from the City of Detroit Planning and Development Department. Field description metadata is available for download. For detailed descriptions of the land use categories, and to learn more about the Detroit Future City initiative, please visit http://detroitfuturecity.com/framework/.

A web map used to visualize available digital parcel data for Organized Towns and Unorganized Territories throughout the state of Maine. Individual towns submit parcel data on a voluntary basis; the data are compiled by the Maine Office of GIS for dissemination by the Maine GeoLibrary, and where available, the web map also includes assessor data contained in the Parcels_ADB related table.This web map is intended for use within the Maine Geoparcel Viewer Application; it is not intended for use as a standalone web map.Within Maine, real property data is maintained by the government organization responsible for assessing and collecting property tax for a given location. Organized towns and townships maintain authoritative data for their communities and may voluntarily submit these data to the Maine GeoLibrary Parcel Project. Maine Parcels Organized Towns and Maine Parcels Organized Towns ADB are the product of these voluntary submissions. Communities provide updates to the Maine GeoLibrary on a non-regular basis, sometimes many years apart, which affects the currency of Maine GeoLibrary parcels data. Another resource for real property transaction data is the County Registry of Deeds, although organized town data should very closely match registry information, except in the case of in-process property conveyance transactions.

The Act51 Map Layer identifies road jurisdictions for permitting and planning.Public Act 51 of 1951 created the Michigan Transportation Fund (MTF), and it is the main road funding source for most cities and villages. This Act defines the formula by which Michigan distributes money for road maintenance to cities, villages, and counties.Under Act 51, county roads can be classified as either primary or local roads. City and village streets can be classified as either major or local streets.

Data Driven Detroit recieved a copy of the City of Detroit GIS parcel file in May of 2012. Data Driven Detroit was able to find records in the data that did not have corresponding polygons drawn. These missing parcel objects were then geocoded by address to determine an approximate position and give the shape of a smal square as a placeholder. These missing parcels are corrected by the city in subsequent releases of the parcel file.

The Detroit Land Bank Authority's (DLBA) Own It Now (OIN) program offers vacant homes for sale with a minimum offer price of $1,000. Homes are available on the DLBA website for sale 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and may be offered on at any time. Homes are sold as is and buyers are required to rehab the houses and ensure that they are occupied. The dataset provides information on the properties that have been successfully sold by the DLBA through the OIN program.The Detroit Land Bank Authority (DLBA) works directly with individual buyers, as well as Community Partner organizations and developers to achieve their mission to return the city's blighted and vacant properties to productive use. They utilize a variety of sales programs to make homeownership and land purchases accessible to Detroiters. One of these programs is Own it Now (OIN).Each row in the dataset represents an OIN home and includes data about the sale status, closing date for sold homes, sale price, and location information such as: address; parcel ID; and neighborhood.For more information about the DLBA's sales programs please visit their website.Click here for the Analytics Hub visualization of this dataset.

Parking Zones in the City of Detroit

Map of the Qualified Opportunity Zones in the City of Detroit. Data provided by the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation (DEGC) on the City of Detroit Open Data Portal, by census tract. Updated March 2018.

The analyst downloaded the raw data used to develop this dataset from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). Pursuant to statutory guidelines under the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act (NREPA), the DEQ is required to “post on its website an inventory of residential closures and a separate inventory of other known facilities.” For the purposes of this dataset, “residential closures”have not been included; these were submitted to the DEQ in a No Further Action Report and satisfy remediation standards for Residential Facilities. All“other known facilities” available are included in the Inventory of Facilities dataset that serves as the foundation for this layer.

The Inventory of Facilities includes all locations where there have been a release of hazardous substances as defined under multiple subsets of NREPA. Although this list is commonly referred to as Brownfields, it can contain other types of designations including but not limited to: Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUST), Baseline Environmental Site Assessments (BEAs) and Environmental Site Assessments. Each of these designations requires further action, and the sites are pursuing cleanup in conjunction with the DEQ.

It is also important to mention that this inventory does not necessarily include every facility that is subject to NREPA’s guidelines, since owners are not required to inform the DEQ about the facilities and can pursue cleanup independently. Facilities that are not known to the DEQ are not on the inventory, nor are locations with releases that resulted in little or no environmental impact.Metadata associated with this file includes field description metadata and a narrative summary detailing the creation of this dataset.For more information about the Motor City Mapping project, please visit www.motorcitymapping.org.
