Census Tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or statistically equivalent entity delineated by local participants as part of the U.S. Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program. The primary purpose of Census Tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the presentation of decennial census data. In 1980 the New Orleans City Planning Commission, for planning and decision-making purposes, divided the city into Census Tract based 'neighborhoods'. Additional neighborhoods were created after the 1990 and 2000 Censuses. Following Hurricane Katrina the Greater New Orleans Community Data Center (GNOCDC) settled on these boundaries to facilitate the use of local data in decision-making. These neighborhoods underwent further change during the 2010 Census due to modifications (consolidation and/or splitting) of Census Tracts, the resulting boundaries were renamed as 'Neighborhood Statistical Areas' to reflect their actual function.

Bucknell's summer 2015 "New Orleans in 12 Movements" course aims to help students view New Orleans' natural environment, built infrastructure, and human experience in an integrated way. The course is co-taught by faculty from 3 departments and includes a week of field work in New Orleans. In this course, students will develop an integrated, holistic understanding of how the city of New Orleans has evolved over time. To support this learning, students have been provided an ArcGIS Online web-based map containing key cultural and historic information about New Orleans selected by their instructors. This interactive tool will enable them to explore New Orleans’ natural environment, built infrastructure and human experience through a variety of lenses. Faculty will use the map to deliver presentations and course materials to students. Students will use their own copy of the map to take notes, complete and deliver course assignments, and add their own materials to the course collection.

Polygon dataset representing local New Orleans Historic Districts. Local historic districts are created to regulate, preserve, and protect historic districts and landmarks within the City of New Orleans and may or may not correspond to districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As of 2007, there are 14 local historic districts within New Orleans/Orleans Parish, ten administered by the New Orleans Historic District Landmarks Commission and four by the Central Business District Historic District Landmarks Commission. The City of New Orleans Department of Information Technology & Innovation creates, collects and stores GIS infrastructure and other data. Data are provided by various departments within the City, other government entities, utilities, and private enterprise. The primary purpose for maintaining this enterprise GIS is to provide spatial analysis, decision support and mapping services to all City Departments.

These data were automated to provide an accurate high-resolution historical shoreline of New Orleans, LA suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. These data are derived from shoreline maps that were produced by the NOAA National Ocean Service including its predecessor agencies which were based on an office interpretation of imagery and/or field survey. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Face refers to the areal (polygon) topological primitives that make up MTDB. A face is bounded by one or more edges; its boundary includes only the edges that separate it from other faces, not any interior edges contained within the area of the face. The Topological Faces Shapefile contains the attributes of each topological primitive face. Each face has a unique topological face identifier (TFID) value. Each face in the shapefile includes the key geographic area codes for all geographic areas for which the Census Bureau tabulates data for both the 2020 Census and the annual estimates and surveys. The geometries of each of these geographic areas can then be built by dissolving the face geometries on the appropriate key geographic area codes in the Topological Faces Shapefile.

This resource is a member of a series. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) System (MTS). The MTS represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The All Roads shapefile includes all features within the MTS Super Class "Road/Path Features" distinguished where the MAF/TIGER Feature Classification Code (MTFCC) for the feature in the MTS that begins with "S". This includes all primary, secondary, local neighborhood, and rural roads, city streets, vehicular trails (4wd), ramps, service drives, alleys, parking lot roads, private roads for service vehicles (logging, oil fields, ranches, etc.), bike paths or trails, bridle/horse paths, walkways/pedestrian trails, and stairways.

Hurricane Katrina of August, 2005, is remembered as one of the most destructive and influential storms in United States history. The densely populated city of New Orleans, one of many areas around the Gulf Coast to face catastrophic damage, endured extreme flooding and physical destruction when several levees and other flood prevention features guarding the city broke down. Many evacuated the city and fled to far corners of the country, and a large portion of these evacuees were unable to resettle in New Orleans after the storm. Dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina involved many immense challenges, but ten years later, one can see the effects of a decade of hard work in restoring this historic city. This series of maps tracks New Orleans through these ten years of change. The story map uses the Esri Story Map Series app, The story was produced by Esri in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution. The story can also be found on the Smithsonian Website. Data for each map was taken from the following sources:Katrina Diaspora: 2006 American Community Survey 1-year Estimates, State-to-State Migration Flows, NHC, NOAA, NWS. Flooding: Terrestrial lidar datasets of New Orleans levee failures from Hurricane Katrina, August 29, 2005: U.S. Geological Survey Data Series, NASA Earth Observatory, NOAA National Geodetic Survey.
