Valleys, featured in the Valley Identification Tool, are locations that have a lower elevation than surrounding areas. EPA Region 1 GIS Center applied ArcGIS' Focal Statistics tool to the USGS 30-meter NED DEM to find places where elevations are significantly less than average. We then quantified population and wood fuel usage within Census County Subdivisions to find locations which may be vulnerable to wood smoke pollution during winter thermal inversions. Created by US EPA Region 1 GIS Center; and implemented in EPA Regions 2, 3 and 9 in 2022 and Region 10 in 2024 by regional GIS staff, US EPA Office of Mission Support (OMS).

The American Community Survey (ACS) is designed to estimate the characteristic distribution of populations and estimated counts should only be used to calculate percentages. They do not represent the actual population counts or totals. Beginning in 2019, the Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC) has measured educational attainment for the Roadmap Progress Report using one-year American Community Survey (ACS) data from the United States Census Bureau. These public microdata represents the most current data, but it is limited to areas with larger populations leading to some multi-county regions*. *The American Community Survey is not the official source of population counts. It is designed to show the characteristics of the nation's population and should not be used as actual population counts or housing totals for the nation, states or counties. The official population count — including population by age, sex, race and Hispanic origin — comes from the once-a-decade census, supplemented by annual population estimates (which do not typically contain educational attainment variables) from the following groups and surveys: -- Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM): https://www.ofm.wa.gov/washington-data-research/population-demographics -- US Census Decennial Census: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/decennial-census.html and Population Estimates Program: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest.html **In prior years, WSAC used both the five-year and three-year (now discontinued) data. While the 5-year estimates provide a larger sample, they are not recommended for year to year trends and also are released later than the one-year files.

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Regions dataset was created on October 12, 2022 from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) has 10 different regions across the United States. The regions cover all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and territories. Staff within the FTA regions provide support in cities/regions with greater transit activities. All these officials develop and manage grants. FTA also overseas safety measures.

In addition to the fifty states, the Census Bureau treats the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and each of the Island Areas (American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands) as the statistical equivalents of states for the purpose of data presentation."New JerseyData currency: This cached Esri federal service is checked weekly for updates from its enterprise federal source (State-County) and will support mapping, analysis, data exports and OGC API – Feature access.NGDAID: 90 (Series Information for State and Equivalent Entities National TIGER/Line Shapefiles, Current)OGC API Features Link: U.S. States and EquivalentsFor more information, please visit: State or Statistically Equivalent EntityFor feedback please contact: Esri_US_Federal_Data@esri.comNGDA Data SetThis data set is part of the NGDA Governmental Units, and Administrative and Statistical Boundaries Theme Community. Per the Federal Geospatial Data Committee (FGDC), this theme is defined as the "boundaries that delineate geographic areas for uses such as governance and the general provision of services (e.g., states, American Indian reservations, counties, cities, towns, etc.), administration and/or for a specific purpose (e.g., congressional districts, school districts, fire districts, Alaska Native Regional Corporations, etc.), and/or provision of statistical data (census tracts, census blocks, metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas, etc.). Boundaries for these various types of geographic areas are either defined through a documented legal description or through criteria and guidelines. Other boundaries may include international limits, those of federal land ownership, the extent of administrative regions for various federal agencies, as well as the jurisdictional offshore limits of U.S. sovereignty.

Precipitation (P) gauge undercatch (PUC) is an important source of error when using observed meteorological datasets for hydrologic modeling studies in regions with cold and windy winters. Preliminary simulations using the Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) hydrological model forced with different meteorological datasets showed significant underprediction of simulated streamflow throughout the domain. A new hybrid gridded meteorological dataset at 1/16th degree resolution based on observed station data was assembled over the U.S. Midwest and Great Lakes region from 1915-2021 at daily time step. Correction of primary station data using existing techniques is generally difficult or infeasible in the U.S. due to missing station meta-data and lack of local wind speed (WS) measurements. We tested several different post-processing adjustment techniques using regridded WS obtained from NCAR Reanalysis. The most effective approach corrected rain or mixed P using WS alone, and P as snow using a regressed snow-to-P ratio from a group of high-quality reference stations (to account for different and generally unknown snow measurement techniques). The PUC-corrected gridded products were validated against high-quality shielded stations, and corrected GHCN stations with in-situ WS, showing good overall agreement. Validation was also done over 40 river basins using comparisons between observed monthly streamflow and VIC model simulations forced by datasets with and without PUC corrections. The new dataset produced improvements in streamflow simulations in at least 80% of the streamflow locations for three validation metrics (R², Nash Sutcliff efficiency, bias in the mean), demonstrating its value for hydrometeorological studies in the greater Midwest region.

Hydrologic landscape regions (HLRs) in the United States were delineated by using geographic information system (GIS) tools and statistical methods including principal components and cluster analyses. The GIS and statistical analyses were applied to land-surface form, geologic texture (permeability of the soil and bedrock), and climate variables that describe the physical and climatic setting of 43,931 small (roughly 200 square kilometers) watersheds in the United States. The analyses then grouped the watersheds into 20 noncontiguous regions (the HLRs) on the basis of similarities in land-surface form, geologic texture, and climate characteristics. This hydrologic landscape regions dataset contains for each of the 43,931 watersheds the (1) watershed identification number, (2) land-surface form, geologic texture, and climate characteristics for each watershed, and (3) hydrologic landscape region number for each watershed.

This data set describes ground-water regions in the United States defined by the U.S. Geological Survey. These ground-water regions are useful for dividing the United States into areas of roughly similar hydrologic characterstics and water-use patterns. These regions are very generalized and were developed from a illustration published at a scale of approximately 1:20 million.

This dataset refers to the categorization of species protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) based on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) regional offices that manage their conservation efforts. The FWS is divided into several regions, each responsible for specific geographic areas and the species that inhabit them.
