NJDOT has adopted a new data model for their transportation network. This data model was designed using portions of the ESRI UNETRANS data model, and incorporates existing data with more recent spatial and roadway inventory data. These data will encompass the NJDOT statewide road network, as well as public roads that fall outside of the NJDOT's jurisdiction. Roads were digitized using 2002 New Jersey statewide orthophotos, which were produced at a scale of 1:2400 (1"=200') with a 1 foot pixel resolution. The orthophotos were captured during February-April 2002, and were ortho-rectified to a +/- 4.0 foot horizontal accuracy at a 95% confidence level. Roads were digitized to the visible center of a street, within a tolerance of +/- 3 feet and then attributed using data collected for the Maintenance Management Systems and Local Road Inventory projects (2002-2005), which are both NJDOT BTDS data collection projects. Only public roads were digitized and attributed. Roads were digitized as divided where there was a visible, physical median separating carriageways for a length of greater than 600 feet. In the secondary direction, along median separated segments of roadway in the south and westbound directions, the milepost values are opposite to those in the primary direction. Ramps were digitized when the gore-to-gore distance was greater than 25 feet. This dataset does not include address range attributes. The project began in November 2003, and was completed by May 31, 2005.

The New Jersey Department of Health's State Health Assessment Data (NJSHAD) System provides access to public health datasets, statistics, and information on the health status of New Jerseyans.

NOTE: This metadata file contains information for Flowlines delineated for NJ from 2002 color infrared (CIR) imagery with attributes extracted from the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Digitizing of this data was initially done by Aerial Information Systems, Inc., Redlands, CA, under direction of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Bureau of Geographic Information System (BGIS). Conflation of USGS 1:24,000 High resolution NHD attributes was done by Data Enhancement Services, LLC (DES) partnered with Civil Solutions. This statewide conflation of NHD High resolution information was completed in 2010. All QA/QC was done by NJDEP, Bureau of GIS and USGS. This represents a subset of the statewide extract for NJ dated August 25, 2010.

This parcels dataset is a spatial representation of tax lots for Gloucester County, New Jersey that have been extracted from the NJ statewide parcels composite by the NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS). Parcels at county boundaries have been modified to correspond with the NJ county boundaries and the parcels in adjacent counties.Each parcel contains a field named PAMS_PIN based on a concatenation of the county/municipality code, block number, lot number and qualification code. Using the PAMS_PIN, the dataset can be joined to the MOD-IV database table that contains supplementary attribute information regarding lot ownership and characteristics. Due to irregularities in the data development process, duplicate PAMS_PIN values exist in the parcel records. Users should avoid joining MOD-IV database table records to all parcel records with duplicate PAMS_PINs because of uncertainty regarding whether the MOD-IV records will join to the correct parcel records. There are also parcel records with unique PAMS_PIN values for which there are no corresponding records in the MOD-IV database tables. This is mostly due to the way data are organized in the MOD-IV database.The polygons delineated in the dataset do not represent legal boundaries and should not be used to provide a legal determination of land ownership. Parcels are not survey data and should not be used as such.The MOD-IV system provides for uniform preparation, maintenance, presentation and storage of property tax information required by the Constitution of the State of New Jersey, New Jersey Statutes and rules promulgated by the Director of the Division of Taxation. MOD-IV maintains and updates all assessment records and produces all statutorily required tax lists for property tax bills. This list accounts for all parcels of real property as delineated and identified on each municipality's official tax map, as well as taxable values and descriptive data for each parcel. Tax List records were received as raw data from the Taxation Team of NJOIT which collected source information from municipal tax assessors and created the statewide table. This table was subsequently processed for ease of use with NJ tax parcel spatial data and split into an individual table for each county.***NOTE*** For users who incorporate NJOGIS services into web maps and/or web applications, please sign up for the NJ Geospatial Forum discussion listserv for early notification of service changes.

Points range from park offices, picnic areas, campgrounds, restrooms and more, which may relate to trails, services, buildings, places of interest, waterbodies, camping, and picnicking. Data collection was a cooperative effort between New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) employees, local volunteers, and non-profit agencies resulting in varying degrees of spatial accuracy and detail.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Stratford population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Stratford across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Stratford was 7,000, a 0.53% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Stratford population was 6,963, a decline of 0.01% compared to a population of 6,964 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Stratford decreased by 261. In this period, the peak population was 7,261 in the year 2000. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

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. The All Roads Shapefile includes all features within the MTDB Super Class "Road/Path Features" distinguished where the MAF/TIGER Feature Classification Code (MTFCC) for the feature in MTDB 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, stairways, and winter trails.

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 layer was created to provide an authoritative database of statewide trails, to be used primarily for planning and cartographic purposes, and to provide a model to encourage consistency in the mapping of trails and trail attributes for the maintenance and update of accurate trail data. NOTE: This dataset is a first iteration and is in no way complete; instead, this should be viewed as a ‘living’ dataset. The NJ Trails Taskforce is currently developing a process to maintain, fill in data gaps, and make the dataset more robust over time There is no authoritative central location for the public to access Trail locations online. Many independently owned websites offer this information, but it is often crowd sourced and therefore may not be accurate. If the state hosted and maintained the NJ Statewide Trails GIS data then the general public, landowners, land managers, and first responders would have a reliable place to look for this information. Data can be used for planning new trails, advocating for use, search and rescue, and more. NOTE: Managing agency will still be primary point of contact for the most accurate, up-to-date trail locations and conditions. Users of the data will be able to see where trails are in relation to their area of interest. Users can use trail data to plan hiking trips and create routes. Data can be used on maps to show location of trails when relevant or used in analysis. First responders can use data to find lost hikers. There is also a benefit statewide – data can be used as a statewide trail planning tool to improve New Jersey’s trail network. For Green Acres and others involved in land preservation, this data will assist in the identification of parcel acquisitions needed to connect larger trail systems, and it will allow the Trails Program to effectively evaluate project proposals. For the Office of Environmental Justice, the environmental justice mapping tool can be used in conjunction with this database to target efforts in overburdened communities where trails or access to trails are limited or nonexistent. For the State Park Service, this data will allow land managers to make trail connections to adjacent properties to improve the trail network, and the data can be used on existing maps to show trails that neighbor park properties. For the New Jersey State Police, Search and Rescue efforts can be aided using this data. For government agencies, non-profits and others, trail data will provide the data necessary to accurately plan for connections or extensions to existing trail networks and/or be used to advocate for the creation of new and/or connecting trail networks.
