Municipal boundaries for DVRPC Region with Philadelphia's County Planning Areas. Municipal Boundaries have been edited by DVRPC to create a more accurate, seemless regional dataset for the DVRPC region and its surrounding area. This dataset was compiled from multiple sources. Original data sources (in order of drawing rank): DVRPC - for Mercer, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester counties in NJ (an adaptation of NJOIT's Mun Bounds) and Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Chester, and Delaware counties in PA. In most cases, boundaries have been adjusted to align with parcel data. Due to the name change from Washington Twp to Robbinsville Twp in Mercer County, the unique ID (GEOID) for this municipality has changed from 3402177210 to 3402163850 . However, if you download 2000 census data from the Bureau's website, the unique ID (GEOID) for Robbinsville Township will still be 3402177210 in the census data…you will have to manually change its GEOID to 3402163850 in order to get the 2000 data to join to the MCD file correctly. Edited in April 2021 to match PCPC's planning district boundaries and numbers dated 2013

This layer was developed to aid the Surveys Division in planning, modifying and referencing the streets within a city plan of the City of Philadelphia. Examples include: building new streets, modifying existing streets, or observing current streets.

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. 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.

Due to a consolidation, Princeton Twp and Princeton Boro in Mercer County, NJ in 2013, the new municipality (named "Princeton"), uses Princeton Boro's unique ID 3402160900. Princeton Township's unique ID (3402160915)no longer exists.

Due to the name change from Washington Twp to Robbinsville Twp in Mercer County NJ in 2008, the unique ID (GEOID) for this municipality has changed from 3402177210 to 3402163850 . However, if you download 2000 census data from the Bureau's website, the unique ID (GEOID) for Robbinsville Township will still be 3402177210 in the census data…you will have to manually change its GEOID to 3402163850 in order to get the 2000 data to join to the MCD file correctly.

For matching and analyzing demographic data collected and compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau & American Community Survey(ACS) to the geography of Census Block Group boundaries within the City of Philadelphia. These boundaries can change every ten years when the decennial census is conducted. Adjusted to City's Standard Boundary Format.

The TIGER/Line Files are shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) that 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 File is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Block Groups (BGs) are defined before tabulation block delineation and numbering, but are clusters of blocks within the same census tract that have the same first digit of their 4-digit census block number from the same decennial census. For example, Census 2000 tabulation blocks 3001, 3002, 3003,.., 3999 within Census 2000 tract 1210.02 are also within BG 3 within that census tract. Census 2000 BGs generally contained between 600 and 3,000 people, with an optimum size of 1,500 people. Most BGs were delineated by local participants in the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP). The Census Bureau delineated BGs only where the PSAP participant declined to delineate BGs or where the Census Bureau could not identify any local PSAP participant. A BG usually covers a contiguous area. Each census tract contains at least one BG, and BGs are uniquely numbered within census tract. Within the standard census geographic hierarchy, BGs never cross county or census tract boundaries, but may cross the boundaries of other geographic entities like county subdivisions, places, urban areas, voting districts, congressional districts, and American Indian / Alaska Native / Native Hawaiian areas. BGs have a valid code range of 0 through 9. BGs coded 0 were intended to only include water area, no land area, and they are generally in territorial seas, coastal water, and Great Lakes water areas. For Census 2000, rather than extending a census tract boundary into the Great Lakes or out to the U.S. nautical three-mile limit, the Census Bureau delineated some census tract boundaries along the shoreline or just offshore. The Census Bureau assigned a default census tract number of 0 and BG of 0 to these offshore, water-only areas not included in regularly numbered census tract areas. Some boundary details clarified by Philadelphia City Planning Commission May 2011

There are currently 65 Police Service Areas (PSA) boundaries in Philadelphia with two to four per District. These boundaries replaced a much smaller boundary, Sectors in 2009. In several Districts, PSA's split Sector boundaries and therefore a historical comparison would not necessarily be accurate.

Philadelphia Council District Health Dashboard - Dataset and Codebook

Description

This dataset supports the Philadelphia Council District Health Dashboard, an interactive web application that visualizes health disparities and social determinants of health across Philadelphia's 10 City Council Districts. The dashboard provides district-level insights to guide equitable policy and investment decisions by City Council members and the public.

Background

Philadelphia residents experience drastically different health outcomes across the city – differences shaped by federal, state, and local policies rather than individual choices alone. This project maps key health indicators across all 10 Philadelphia City Council Districts to show how politics and geography intersect to shape Philadelphian health.

Data Sources

• US Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates (2018-2022)
• Open Data Philly (2015-2024)

Data aggregated from original geographic units to City Council District boundaries using population-weighted methods.

Dataset Contents

• data_v1_1_1.csv - Main dataset containing health indicators by Philadelphia City Council District
• codebook_v1_1_1.csv - Complete metadata and variable documentation

Methodology

• Population-weighted aggregation for demographic/socioeconomic variables
• Area-weighted aggregation for environmental variables

Boundaries of wards (political units) in the City of Philadelphia. Data was developed by Philadelphia City Planning Commission. Each ward contains no fewer than 10 and no more than 50 divisions. Ward leaders are elected by their party's committeepeople. Learn more about Democratic Ward Leaders and Committeepeople : http://www.seventy.org/Resources_Ward_Leaders_and_Committeepeople.aspx

The data is used to determine the day of sanitation collection (rubbish and recycling) for a given _location and set of households in the City of Philadelphia. The file is also used to aggregate data such as households, tonnage, and mileage. This polygon layer has an accompanying arc layer. Certain arcs in the arc layer contain data signifying information relating it to the polygon layer. It can tell you if both sides of the arc belong to one of the bounding polygons. All the arcs, including those with no boundary info, have naming attributes for labeling the polygon borders.
