The United States Census is a decennial census mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the United States Constitution, which states: "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States ... according to their respective Numbers."

Content

The United States census count (also known as the Decennial Census of Population and Housing) is a count of every resident of the US. The census occurs every 10 years and is conducted by the United States Census Bureau. Census data is publicly available through the census website, but much of the data is available in summarized data and graphs. The raw data is often difficult to obtain, is typically divided by region, and it must be processed and combined to provide information about the nation as a whole.

The United States census dataset includes nationwide population counts from the 2000 and 2010 censuses. Data is broken out by gender, age and location using zip code tabular areas (ZCTAs) and GEOIDs. ZCTAs are generalized representations of zip codes, and often, though not always, are the same as the zip code for an area. GEOIDs are numeric codes that uniquely identify all administrative, legal, and statistical geographic areas for which the Census Bureau tabulates data. GEOIDs are useful for correlating census data with other censuses and surveys.

Vector polygon map data of city limits from Houston, Texas containing 731 features.

City limits GIS (Geographic Information System) data provides valuable information about the boundaries of a city, which is crucial for various planning and decision-making processes. Urban planners and government officials use this data to understand the extent of their jurisdiction and to make informed decisions regarding zoning, land use, and infrastructure development within the city limits.

By overlaying city limits GIS data with other layers such as population density, land parcels, and environmental features, planners can analyze spatial patterns and identify areas for growth, conservation, or redevelopment. This data also aids in emergency management by defining the areas of responsibility for different emergency services, helping to streamline response efforts during crises..

This city limits data is available for viewing and sharing as a map in a Koordinates map viewer. This data is also available for export to DWG for CAD, PDF, KML, CSV, and GIS data formats, including Shapefile, MapInfo, and Geodatabase.

Sentinel2GlobalLULC is a deep learning-ready dataset of RGB images from the Sentinel-2 satellites designed for global land use and land cover (LULC) mapping. Sentinel2GlobalLULC v2.1 contains 194,877 images in GeoTiff and JPEG format corresponding to 29 broad LULC classes. Each image has 224 x 224 pixels at 10 m spatial resolution and was produced by assigning the 25th percentile of all available observations in the Sentinel-2 collection between June 2015 and October 2020 in order to remove atmospheric effects (i.e., clouds, aerosols, shadows, snow, etc.). A spatial purity value was assigned to each image based on the consensus across 15 different global LULC products available in Google Earth Engine (GEE).

Our dataset is structured into 3 main zip-compressed folders, an Excel file with a dictionary for class names and descriptive statistics per LULC class, and a python script to convert RGB GeoTiff images into JPEG format. The first folder called "Sentinel2LULC_GeoTiff.zip" contains 29 zip-compressed subfolders where each one corresponds to a specific LULC class with hundreds to thousands of GeoTiff Sentinel-2 RGB images. The second folder called "Sentinel2LULC_JPEG.zip" contains 29 zip-compressed subfolders with a JPEG formatted version of the same images provided in the first main folder. The third folder called "Sentinel2LULC_CSV.zip" includes 29 zip-compressed CSV files with as many rows as provided images and with 12 columns containing the following metadata (this same metadata is provided in the image filenames):

• Land Cover Class ID: is the identification number of each LULC class
• Land Cover Class Short Name: is the short name of each LULC class
• Image ID: is the identification number of each image within its corresponding LULC class
• Pixel purity Value: is the spatial purity of each pixel for its corresponding LULC class calculated as the spatial consensus across up to 15 land-cover products
• GHM Value: is the spatial average of the Global Human Modification index (gHM) for each image
• Latitude: is the latitude of the center point of each image
• Longitude: is the longitude of the center point of each image
• Country Code: is the Alpha-2 country code of each image as described in the ISO 3166 international standard. To understand the country codes, we recommend the user to visit the following website where they present the Alpha-2 code for each country as described in the ISO 3166 international standard:https: //www.iban.com/country-codes
• Administrative Department Level1: is the administrative level 1 name to which each image belongs
• Administrative Department Level2: is the administrative level 2 name to which each image belongs
• Locality: is the name of the locality to which each image belongs
• Number of S2 images : is the number of found instances in the corresponding Sentinel-2 image collection between June 2015 and October 2020, when compositing and exporting its corresponding image tile

For seven LULC classes, we could not export from GEE all images that fulfilled a spatial purity of 100% since there were millions of them. In this case, we exported a stratified random sample of 14,000 images and provided an additional CSV file with the images actually contained in our dataset. That is, for these seven LULC classes, we provide these 2 CSV files:

• A CSV file that contains all exported images for this class
• A CSV file that contains all images available for this class at spatial purity of 100%, both the ones exported and the ones not exported, in case the user wants to export them. These CSV filenames end with "including_non_downloaded_images".

To clearly state the geographical coverage of images available in this dataset, we included in the version v2.1, a compressed folder called "Geographic_Representativeness.zip". This zip-compressed folder contains a csv file for each LULC class that provides the complete list of countries represented in that class. Each csv file has two columns, the first one gives the country code and the second one gives the number of images provided in that country for that LULC class. In addition to these 29 csv files, we provided another csv file that maps each ISO Alpha-2 country code to its original full country name.

The Grocery Stores web map represents grocery stores within the city of Dallas as of 2024. The data is sourced from the USDA SNAP database, Google Maps, ReferenceSolutions, and AtoZDatabase.The dataset categorizes stores accepting SNAP into four types:Grocery Stores: Retailers offering a variety of fresh food products. While they may sell non-food items, their primary focus is on food.Wholesale Clubs: Large warehouse-style stores that sell a wide range of merchandise, often in bulk quantities.General Merchandise Stores with Grocery: Retail outlets that sell a variety of everyday items, including groceries.Convenience Stores (SNAP-eligible): Smaller retail locations offering a limited selection of basic packaged foods and other essentials, typically open for extended hours.Each entry in the dataset includes the store's name, street address, city, state, or ZIP code.This Grocery Stores web map was created on September 24, 2024, by Ridvan Kirimli. For any inquiries regarding the grocery store layer or web map, please contact Heather Lepeska or Ridvan Kirimli.

The SEN12TP dataset (Sentinel-1 and -2 imagery, timely paired) contains 2319 scenes of Sentinel-1 radar and Sentinel-2 optical imagery together with elevation and land cover information of 1236 distinct ROIs taken between 28 March 2017 and 31 December 2020. Each scene has a size of 20km x 20km at 10m pixel spacing. The time difference between optical and radar images is at most 12h, but for almost all scenes it is around 6h since the orbits of Sentinel-1 and -2 are shifted like that. Next to the \(\sigma^\circ\) radar backscatter also the radiometric terrain corrected \(\gamma^\circ\) radar backscatter is calculated and included. \(\gamma^\circ\) values are calculated using the volumetric model presented by Vollrath et. al 2020.

The uncompressed dataset has a size of 222 GB and is split spatially into a train (~90%) and a test set (~10%). For easier download the train set is split into four separate zip archives.

Please cite the following paper when using the dataset, in which the design and creation is detailed:
T. Roßberg and M. Schmitt. A globally applicable method for NDVI estimation from Sentinel-1 SAR backscatter using a deep neural network and the SEN12TP dataset. PFG – Journal of Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Geoinformation Science, 2023. https://doi.org/10.1007/s41064-023-00238-y.

The file sen12tp-metadata.json includes metadata of the selected scenes. It includes for each scene the geometry, an ID for the ROI and the scene, the climate and land cover information used when sampling the central point, the timestamps (in ms) when the Sentinel-1 and -2 image was taken, the month of the year, and the EPSG code of the local UTM Grid (e.g. EPSG:32643 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 43N).

Naming scheme: The images are contained in directories called {roi_id}_{scene_id}, as for some unique regions image pairs of multiple dates are included. In each directory are six files for the different modalities with the naming {scene_id}_{modality}.tif. Multiple modalities are included: radar backscatter and multispectral optical images, the elevation as DSM (digital surface model) and different land cover maps.
