A. SUMMARY This is a dataset containing points representing the midpoint of each block in the City of San Francisco. This dataset is used for geomasking (e.g. removing an exact address and replacing it with a nearby anonymized point) and other anonymization tasks.
B. HOW THE DATASET IS CREATED This dataset was created by calculating the midpoint of each the street segment in the city (see Streets - Active and Retired) then returning the latitude and longitude of that midpoint. A street segment is a line between two intersections. Street midpoints are calculated for each side of the block.
C. UPDATE PROCESS This dataset is updated weekly.
D. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET Use this dataset for geomasking and other anonymization workflows.

WARNING: This is a pre-release dataset and its fields names and data structures are subject to change. It should be considered pre-release until the end of 2024. Expected changes:Metadata is missing or incomplete for some layers at this time and will be continuously improved.We expect to update this layer roughly in line with CDTFA at some point, but will increase the update cadence over time as we are able to automate the final pieces of the process.This dataset is continuously updated as the source data from CDTFA is updated, as often as many times a month. If you require unchanging point-in-time data, export a copy for your own use rather than using the service directly in your applications.PurposeCounty and incorporated place (city) boundaries along with third party identifiers used to join in external data. Boundaries are from the authoritative source the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), altered to show the counties as one polygon. This layer displays the city polygons on top of the County polygons so the area isn"t interrupted. The GEOID attribute information is added from the US Census. GEOID is based on merged State and County FIPS codes for the Counties. Abbreviations for Counties and Cities were added from Caltrans Division of Local Assistance (DLA) data. Place Type was populated with information extracted from the Census. Names and IDs from the US Board on Geographic Names (BGN), the authoritative source of place names as published in the Geographic Name Information System (GNIS), are attached as well. Finally, the coastline is used to separate coastal buffers from the land-based portions of jurisdictions. This feature layer is for public use.Related LayersThis dataset is part of a grouping of many datasets:Cities: Only the city boundaries and attributes, without any unincorporated areasWith Coastal BuffersWithout Coastal BuffersCounties: Full county boundaries and attributes, including all cities within as a single polygonWith Coastal BuffersWithout Coastal BuffersCities and Full Counties: A merge of the other two layers, so polygons overlap within city boundaries.

Additional values include "ocean" and "bay".GlobalID: While all of the layers we provide in this dataset include a GlobalID field with unique values, we do not recommend you make any use of it. The GlobalID field exists to support offline sync, but is not persistent, so data keyed to it will be orphaned at our next update. Use one of the other persistent identifiers, such as GNIS_ID or GEOID instead.AccuracyCDTFA"s source data notes the following about accuracy:City boundary changes and county boundary line adjustments filed with the Board of Equalization per Government Code 54900. This GIS layer contains the boundaries of the unincorporated county and incorporated cities within the state of California. The initial dataset was created in March of 2015 and was based on the State Board of Equalization tax rate area boundaries. As of April 1, 2024, the maintenance of this dataset is provided by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration for the purpose of determining sales and use tax rates. The boundaries are continuously being revised to align with aerial imagery when areas of conflict are discovered between the original boundary provided by the California State Board of Equalization and the boundary made publicly available by local, state, and federal government. Some differences may occur between actual recorded boundaries and the boundaries used for sales and use tax purposes. The boundaries in this map are representations of taxing jurisdictions for the purpose of determining sales and use tax rates and should not be used to determine precise city or county boundary line locations. COUNTY = county name; CITY = city name or unincorporated territory; COPRI = county number followed by the 3-digit city primary number used in the California State Board of Equalization"s 6-digit tax rate area numbering system (for the purpose of this map, unincorporated areas are assigned 000 to indicate that the area is not within a city).Boundary ProcessingThese data make a structural change from the source data. While the full boundaries provided by CDTFA include coastal buffers of varying sizes, many users need boundaries to end at the shoreline of the ocean or a bay. As a result, after examining existing city and county boundary layers, these datasets provide a coastline cut generally along the ocean facing coastline. For county boundaries in northern California, the cut runs near the Golden Gate Bridge, while for cities, we cut along the bay shoreline and into the edge of the Delta at the boundaries of Solano, Contra Costa, and Sacramento counties.In the services linked above, the versions that include the coastal buffers contain them as a second (or third) polygon for the city or county, with the value in the COASTAL field set to whether it"s a bay or ocean polygon. These can be processed back into a single polygon by dissolving on all the fields you wish to keep, since the attributes, other than the COASTAL field and geometry attributes (like areas) remain the same between the polygons for this purpose.SliversIn cases where a city or county"s boundary ends near a coastline, our coastline data may cross back and forth many times while roughly paralleling the jurisdiction"s boundary, resulting in many polygon slivers. We post-process the data to remove these slivers using a city/county boundary priority algorithm. That is, when the data run parallel to each other, we discard the coastline cut and keep the CDTFA-provided boundary, even if it extends into the ocean a small amount. This processing supports consistent boundaries for Fort Bragg, Point Arena, San Francisco, Pacifica, Half Moon Bay, and Capitola, in addition to others. More information on this algorithm will be provided soon.Coastline CaveatsSome cities have buffers extending into water bodies that we do not cut at the shoreline. These include South Lake Tahoe and Folsom, which extend into neighboring lakes, and San Diego and surrounding cities that extend into San Diego Bay, which our shoreline encloses. If you have feedback on the exclusion of these items, or others, from the shoreline cuts, please reach out using the contact information above.Offline UseThis service is fully enabled for sync and export using Esri Field Maps or other similar tools. Importantly, the GlobalID field exists only to support that use case and should not be used for any other purpose (see note in field descriptions).Updates and Date of ProcessingConcurrent with CDTFA updates, approximately every two weeks, Last Processed: 12/17/2024 by Nick Santos using code path at https://github.com/CDT-ODS-DevSecOps/cdt-ods-gis-city-county/ at commit 0bf269d24464c14c9cf4f7dea876aa562984db63.

Incorporated Places (cities and towns) are those reported to the Census Bureau as legally in existence as of May 28, 2021, under the laws of their respective states. Features were extracted from, and clipped using, California 2020 TIGER/Line shapefiles by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. An incorporated place provides governmental functions for a concentration of people, as opposed to a minor civil division, which generally provides services or administers an area without regard, necessarily, to population. Places may extend across county and county subdivision boundaries, but never across state boundaries. An incorporated place usually is a city, town, village, or borough, but can have other legal descriptions.

The California Association Local Agency Formation Commissions defines a sphere of influence (SOI) as "a planning boundary outside of an agency’s legal boundary (such as the city limit line) that designates the agency’s probable future boundary and service area." This feature set represents the SOIs of the incorporated jurisdictions for the San Francisco Bay Region.The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) updated the feature set in late 2019 as part of the jurisdiction review process for the BASIS data gathering project. Changes were made to the growth boundaries of the following jurisdictions based on BASIS feedback and associated work: Antioch, Brentwood, Campbell, Daly City, Dublin, Fremont, Hayward, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Newark, Oakland, Oakley, Pacifica, Petaluma, Pittsburg, Pleasanton, San Bruno, San Francisco (added to reflect other jurisdictions whose SOI is the same as their jurisdiction boundary), San Jose, San Leandro, Santa Clara, Saratoga, and Sunnyvale.Notes: With the exception of San Mateo and Solano Counties, counties included jurisdiction (city/town) areas as part of their SOI boundary data. San Mateo County and Solano County only provided polygons representing the SOI areas outside the jurisdiction areas. To create a consistent, regional feature set, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) added the jurisdiction areas to the original, SOI-only features and dissolved the features by name.Because of differences in base data used by the counties and the MTC, edits were made to the San Mateo County and Solano County SOI features that should have been adjacent to their jurisdiction boundary so the dissolve function would create a minimum number of features.Original sphere of influence boundary acquisitions:Alameda County - CityLimits_SOI.shp received as e-mail attachment from Alameda County Community Development Agency on 30 August 2019Contra Costa County - BND_LAFCO_Cities_SOI.zip downloaded from https://gis.cccounty.us/Downloads/Planning/ on 15 August 2019Marin County - 'Sphere of Influence - City' feature service data downloaded from Marin GeoHub on 15 August 2019Napa County - city_soi.zip downloaded from their GIS Data Catalog on 15 August 2019City and County of San Francisco - does not have a sphere of influenceSan Mateo County - 'Sphere of Influence' feature service data downloaded from San Mateo County GIS open data on 15 August 2019Santa Clara County - 'City Spheres of Influence' feature service data downloaded from Santa Clara County Planning Office GIS Data on 15 August 2019Solano County - SphereOfInfluence feature service data downloaded from Solano GeoHub on 15 August 2019Sonoma County - 'SoCo PRMD GIS Spheres Influence.zip' downloaded from County of Sonoma on 15 August 2019

Complete accounting of all incorporated cities, including the boundary and name of each individual city. From 2009 to 2022 CAL FIRE maintained this dataset by processing and digitally capturing annexations sent by the state Board of Equalization (BOE). In 2022 CAL FIRE began sourcing data directly from BOE, in order to allow the authoritative department to provide data directly. This data is then adjusted so it resembles the previous formats.Processing includes:Clipping the dataset to traditional state boundariesErasing areas that span the San Francisco Bay (derived from calw221.gdb)Querying for incorporated areas onlyDissolving each incorporated polygon into a single featureCalculating the COUNTY field to remove the word 'County'Version 22_1 is based on BOE_CityCounty_20220225, and includes all annexations present in BOE_CityAnx2022_20220225 and BOE_CityAnx2023_20220223.Note: The Board of Equalization represents incorporated city boundaries as extending significantly into waterways, including beyond coastal boundaries.

Note: These are the Department of Public Works Basemap Parcels, not the Assessor-Recorder's Taxable Parcels. See "How to use this dataset" for more information.
A. SUMMARY Parcels are defined areas of land, demarcated by boundaries to visualize distinct and legal parcels of real property. Occasionally, parcels are divided or combined, and a new parcel can be created. This dataset connects current parcels in San Francisco to historical parcels that are associated with it.
B. HOW THE DATASET IS CREATED This dataset utilizes the parcel change log to find associated parcels through an iterative process.
C. UPDATE PROCESS This dataset will be refreshed daily, though the data may not change every day.
D. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET The City and County of San Francisco has two related but distinct parcel databases. The first is managed by the Department of Public Works, is created by surveyors, and is used in the Department of Public Works basemap. Public Works parcels are used to identify very precisely where private properties end and where public City property begins (e.g. sidewalks, roads, rights of way, etc.). The second is managed by the Assessor-Recorder's Office. Assessor parcels are defined by Revenue and Taxation code and Property Tax law. The Assessor-Recorder uses official maps defined under Revenue and Taxation code section 325 in the creation of assessor parcels and are used to identify taxable property. Each of the Assessor's parcels have an Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) which is used by other departments including but not limited to Tax Collector for tax collection, DBI for permitting, and other use cases.
Though most parcels are the same between Public Works and the Assessor’s Office, they are not a perfect match. APN's are retired and activated within the timeline parameters of tax years (July – June) based on tax roll state requirements, which means there can be a lag between the Public Works parcel changing and the associated APN being updated. Public Works’ City Basemap identifies legal parcels defined by California Code Subdivision Map Act and Assessor-Recorder’s parcels identify taxable parcel boundaries defined by Revenue and Taxation Code.
Use this dataset to identify historical parcels from the Public Works Basemap that are associated with an active Public Works basemap parcel. This dataset is not a history of the Assessor-Recorder's Parcels.

--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---
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. Census Blocks are statistical areas bounded on all sides by visible features, such as streets, roads, streams, and railroad tracks, and/or by nonvisible boundaries such as city, town, township, and county limits, and short line-of-sight extensions of streets and roads. Census blocks are relatively small in area; for example, a block in a city bounded by streets. However, census blocks in remote areas are often large and irregular and may even be many square miles in area. A common misunderstanding is that data users think census blocks are used geographically to build all other census geographic areas, rather all other census geographic areas are updated and then used as the primary constraints, along with roads and water features, to delineate the tabulation blocks. As a result, all 2010 Census blocks nest within every other 2010 Census geographic area, so that Census Bureau statistical data can be tabulated at the block level and aggregated up to the appropriate geographic areas.

METHODOLOGY NOTES (across all datasets for this indicator)
All historical data reported for Census geographies (metropolitan areas, county, city and tract) use current legal boundaries and names. A Priority Development Area (PDA) is a locally-designated area with frequent transit service, where a jurisdiction has decided to concentrate most of its housing and jobs growth for development in the foreseeable future. PDA boundaries are current as of December 2022.
Population estimates for Bay Area counties and cities are from the California Department of Finance, which are as of January 1st of each year. Population estimates for non-Bay Area regions are from the U.S. Census Bureau. Decennial Census years reflect population as of April 1st of each year whereas population estimates for intercensal estimates are as of July 1st of each year. Population estimates for Bay Area tracts are from the decennial Census (1970-2020) and the American Community Survey (2011-2021 5-year rolling average). Estimates of population density for tracts use gross acres as the denominator.
Population estimates for Bay Area tracts and PDAs are from the decennial Census (1970-2020) and the American Community Survey (2011-2021 5-year rolling average). Population estimates for PDAs are allocated from tract-level Census population counts using an area ratio. For example, if a quarter of a Census tract lies with in a PDA, a quarter of its population will be allocated to that PDA. Estimates of population density for PDAs use gross acres as the denominator. Note that the population densities between PDAs reported in previous iterations of Vital Signs are mostly not comparable due to minor differences and an updated set of PDAs (previous iterations reported Plan Bay Area 2040 PDAs, whereas current iterations report Plan Bay Area 2050 PDAs).

This data set contains features representing growth boundaries in the San Francisco Bay Region. The data set was developed by Greenbelt Alliance as part of their open space preservation mission. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) updated the feature set in late 2019 as part of the jurisdiction review process for the BASIS data gathering project. Changes were made to the growth boundaries of the following jurisdictions based on their BASIS feedback: Antioch, Fremont, Livermore, Marin County, Pittsburg, Pleasanton, and San Ramon.The original features were created by referencing the local measures adopted by voters, city councils/boards of supervisors, or both and map images developed by local government. Web links to the measures and images are included in the attribute table. Greenbelt Alliance is responsible for updating the links to that information if their links change or the documents are taken offline. MTC's updates were made to a limited set of features using shapefiles downloaded from jurisdiction websites, hand editing features by referencing map images provided by jurisdictions, and erasing feature areas using base data features where one jurisdiction's growth boundary overlapped another jurisdiction's city limit. The MTC edits were limited, or related, to features receiving comments from jurisdiction reviewers.While commonly known as either Urban Growth Boundaries (UGBs) or Urban Limit Lines (ULLs), there are no standard designations so they are referred to by a number of designations in the attribute table (name). A couple of the alternative designations include Rural Urban Boundary and City Centered Corridor. Regardless of the designation used, growth boundaries are intended to control where development should be encouraged and discouraged. In this case, the polygons represent the areas where development should occur, and development outside the boundary is discouraged. Development proposed for areas outside the boundary is usually allowed based on special review and approval processes designated by the adopting jurisdiction.Jurisdictions are not required to adopt growth boundaries so the development restrictions imposed by them only apply to the cities and counties that create them. In the case of growth boundaries adopted by counties, they are usually developed with the consent and agreement of the cities adjacent to the county growth boundary.

This shapefile contains tax rate area (TRA) boundaries in San Francisco County for the specified assessment roll year. Boundary alignment is based on the 2014 county parcel map. A tax rate area (TRA) is a geographic area within the jurisdiction of a unique combination of cities, schools, and revenue districts that utilize the regular city or county assessment roll, per Government Code 54900. Each TRA is assigned a six-digit numeric identifier, referred to as a TRA number. TRA = tax rate area number

A. SUMMARY The Department of Public Health and the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development, with support from the Planning Department, created these 41 neighborhoods by grouping 2010 Census tracts, using common real estate and residents’ definitions for the purpose of providing consistency in the analysis and reporting of socio-economic, demographic, and environmental data, and data on City-funded programs and services. These neighborhoods are not codified in Planning Code nor Administrative Code, although this map is referenced in Planning Code Section 415 as the “American Community Survey Neighborhood Profile Boundaries Map. Note: These are NOT statistical boundaries as they are not controlled for population size. This is also NOT an official map of neighborhood boundaries in SF but an aggregation of Census tracts and should be used in conjunction with other spatial boundaries for decision making. B. HOW THE DATASET IS CREATED This dataset is produced by assigning Census tracts to neighborhoods based on existing neighborhood definitions used by Planning and MOHCD. A qualitative assessment is made to identify the appropriate neighborhood for a given tract based on understanding of population distribution and significant landmarks. Once all tracts have been assigned a neighborhood, the tracts are dissolved to produce this dataset, Analysis Neighborhoods. C. UPDATE PROCESS This dataset is static. Changes to the analysis neighborhood boundaries will be evaluated as needed by the Analysis Neighborhood working group led by DataSF and the Planning department and includes staff from various other city departments. Contact us for any questions. D. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET Downloading this dataset and opening it in Excel may cause some of the data values to be lost or not display properly (particularly the Analysis Neighborhood column).

A. SUMMARY This is a dataset containing points representing the midpoint of each block in the City of San Francisco. This dataset is used for geomasking (e.g. removing an exact address and replacing it with a nearby anonymized point) and other anonymization tasks.
B. HOW THE DATASET IS CREATED This dataset was created by calculating the midpoint of each the street segment in the city (see Streets - Active and Retired) then returning the latitude and longitude of that midpoint. A street segment is a line between two intersections. Street midpoints are calculated for each side of the block.
C. UPDATE PROCESS This dataset is updated weekly.
D. HOW TO USE THIS DATASET Use this dataset for geomasking and other anonymization workflows.
