This is a vector file that represents tax parcels boundaries in Monroe County, New York. According to § 102. Definitions (of the Real Property Tax Law of New York State):"Parcel" means a separately assessed lot, parcel, piece or portion of real property, except publicly owned bridges and land used for street, road, highway or parkway purposes. A parcel shall not be bisected by a municipal corporation boundary line except that in a special assessing unit a parcel may be bisected by a school district or village boundary line. For more information on parcels, see the "Parcel" feature class in the RPS_Parcels feature dataset that is maintained by the Monroe County Real Property Services (RPS) department from which this layer was created. The difference between this parcel feature class and the RPS parcel feature class is the latter is updated daily by RPS staff by digitizing new parcel features and does not contain assessment roll data. This layer is recreated biannually by DES staff by joining RPS parcels with the same assessment roll data used to create the Base_County_Parcel_Centroids feature class.

This map is made using content created and owned by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (Esri user HUD.Official.Content). The map uses their Low to Moderate Income Population by Tract layer, filtered for only census tracts in Monroe County, NY where at least 51% of households earn less than 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). The map is centered on Rochester, NY, with the City of Rochester, NY border added for context. Users can zoom out to see the Revitalization Areas for the broader county region.The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program requires that each CDBG funded activity must either principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons, aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or meet a community development need having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community and other financial resources are not available to meet that need. With respect to activities that principally benefit low- and moderate-income persons, at least 51 percent of the activity's beneficiaries must be low and moderate income. For CDBG, a person is considered to be of low income only if he or she is a member of a household whose income would qualify as "very low income" under the Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments program. Generally, these Section 8 limits are based on 50% of area median. Similarly, CDBG moderate income relies on Section 8 "lower income" limits, which are generally tied to 80% of area median. These data are derived from the 2011-2015 American Community Survey (ACS) and based on Census 2010 geography.Please refer to the Feature Layer for date of last update.Data Dictionary: DD_Low to Moderate Income Populations by Tract

The New York State shoreline of Lake Ontario was classified in 2002 during the International Joint Commission's Lake Ontario - St. Lawrence River (LOSLR) water level regulation study based on 1 km reaches. The New York State Department of Conservation (NYSDEC) desired a more precise classification of the shoreline, and as a result AECOM reviewed 2012 oblique imagery provided by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to define detailed shoreline reaches. AECOM generated a spatially referenced feature class for shoreline classifications which represents a more precise version of the shoreline classification feature class generated during the 2002 LOSLR study. The 2002 LOSLR study was used as a baseline to generate classifications. For consistency, geomorphic classification and structural classification types from the LOSLR study were used. Creation Date: 06/13/12. Latest Modification Date: 08/15/12. This datalayer provides information obtained as a result of oblique imagery review for the entire coastline (excluding embayments) of the New York State portion of Lake Ontario.The shoreline was divided into reaches and this dataset represents the line features for those reaches for the U.S. shoreline of Lake Ontario, not including islands and embayments as coded by the LOSLR study in 2002. Each feature within the data layer produced by AECOM represents a reach of shoreline of differing classification. Classification reaches were not defined according to a set unit of measure. In some instances a shoreline classification may span a couple thousand feet, spanning multiple tax parcels. In other instances, multiple classifications may exist for a single tax parcel. Original shoreline boundary was taken from the CityTown.shp datafile from the NYS Civil Boundaries (database) provided by NYS Office of Cyber Security (NYSOGS) via the NYS GIS Clearinghouse website for the following counties: (Niagara, Orleans, Monroe, Wayne, Cayuga, Oswego). Original shoreline boundary was taken from the NHDFlowline.shp datafile from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) (database) provided by NYSDEC via the NYS GIS Clearinghouse website for the following counties: (Jefferson). The shoreline polyline was modified to most accurately represent the actual shoreline based on 2010-2012 Bing Maps aerial imagery.
