Nakoma Neighborhood, Veridian neighborhood). The Assessor's Office analyzes market data within each assessment area to determine trends.

This data represents public health region boundaries for Wisconsin in 2020. [This dataset contains boundaries for the Wisconsin Public Health Regions. Public Health Regions are used to coordinate staff and resources for the Division of Public Health. Resources and staff are organized by Public Health regions and provide contract monitoring, technical assistance, and training related to public health infrastructure, family and community health, communicable disease prevention and control, chronic disease prevention and health promotion, environmental health, and injury prevention.

City of Madison Area Plans.The City will establish an Area Plan for each of these 12 geographies during the 2020s. The order for establishing these plans is indicated in the sequence field. Each Area Plan will then be updated every 10 years.

Madison Urban Area Boundary. Approved 4/3/2013.

The Atlas of the Biosphere is a product of the Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment (SAGE), part of the Gaylord Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin - Madison. The goal is to provide more information about the environment, and human interactions with the environment, than any other source.

The Atlas provides maps of an ever-growing number of environmental variables, under the following categories:

Human Impacts (Humans and the environment from a socio-economic perspective; i.e., Population, Life Expectancy, Literacy Rates);

Land Use (How humans are using the land; i.e., Croplands, Pastures, Urban Lands);

Ecosystems (The natural ecosystems of the world; i.e., Potential Vegetation, Temperature, Soil Texture); and

Water Resources (Water in the biosphere; i.e., Runoff, Precipitation, Lakes and Wetlands).

Map coverages are global and regional in spatial extent. Users can download map images (jpg) and data (a GIS grid of the data in ESRI ArcView Format), and can view metadata online.

Average weekday traffic counts (AWT) are collected at count stations throughout the city and represent the daily average for Monday-Friday traffic volume. Count stations in the eastern section of the city are collected in even numbered years, while those in the city's western section are collected in odd numbered years. Field descriptions/definitions for traffic count data as follows: ObjectID: GIS auto-generated unique identifiermslink: mslink of street segmentsegment_na: street segment nameSTATION: count station numberSOURCE: designates segment with counter or linkedSTATION: volume count station numberSOURCE: volume count station or linked segmentAWT_Count: most recent average weekday traffic countAWT_Yr: year of most recent countShape: GIS geometry typeYear_Txt: year of most recent count (text field)Shape.STLength(): GIS calculated segment length

The Generalized Future Land Use (GFLU) Map makes recommendations for future land uses and development intensities to guide the physical development of Madison. The future land use categories guide what types of zoning can be applied, and ultimately what can be built in different parts of the city. For example, a parcel of land specified for future “Medium Residential” land use could be rezoned to allow for a multifamily apartment building but could not be rezoned to allow for industrial uses.

City of Madison Urban Design DistrictsThis data layer is used by the Urban Design Districts, Zoning Districts and Development Information applications.

The Generalized Future Land Use Map contains eighteen “Map Notes” which provide more explanation about the intent of the land use designation as applied to that location. Many Map Notes point out additional land use and design issues that should be considered when development is reviewed.

The different characteristics of the right of way lines on the official map are as follows:Shape: describes the shape of the right of way lines on the official map.Shape_Length: denotes the length of each right of way line on the official map.
