An economic census place is used to tabulate economic census data. The entities included as an economic place include incorporated places, census designated places (CDPs), minor civil divisions (MCDs), and balances of MCDs or counties. Each of these is discussed in more detail below. An incorporated place, CDP, MCD, or balance of MCD qualifies as an economic census place if it contains: 2,500 or more people according to the 2010 Decennial Census (5,000 was used for the 2007 Economic Census), or 2,500 or more jobs according to data from the 2006-2010 5-year ACS period estimates (5,000 was used for the 2007 Economic Census), or Is a new or significantly revised place since the 2010 Census and has an estimated population of 2,500 or greater. The Economic Places web mapping service contains data as of January 1,2012.

This dataset represents point locations of cities and towns in Arizona. The data contains point locations for incorporated cities, Census Designated Places and populated places. Several data sets were used as inputs to construct this data set. A subset of the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) national dataset for the state of Arizona was used for the base location of most of the points. Polygon files of the Census Designated Places (CDP), from the U.S. Census Bureau and an incorporated city boundary database developed and maintained by the Arizona State Land Department were also used for reference during development. Every incorporated city is represented by a point, originally derived from GNIS. Some of these points were moved based on local knowledge of the GIS Analyst constructing the data set. Some of the CDP points were also moved and while most CDP's of the Census Bureau have one point location in this data set, some inconsistencies were allowed in order to facilitate the use of the data for mapping purposes. Population estimates were derived from data collected during the 2010 Census. During development, an additional attribute field was added to provide additional functionality to the users of this data. This field, named 'DEF_CAT', implies definition category, and will allow users to easily view, and create custom layers or datasets from this file. For example, new layers may created to include only incorporated cities (DEF_CAT = Incorporated), Census designated places (DEF_CAT = Incorporated OR DEF_CAT = CDP), or all cities that are neither CDP's or incorporated (DEF_CAT= Other). This data is current as of February 2012. At this time, there is no planned maintenance or update process for this dataset.This data is created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning, reference, and analysis purposes. This data does not represent a legal record.

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 TIGER/Line shapefiles include both incorporated places (legal entities) and census designated places or CDPs (statistical entities). An incorporated place is established to provide governmental functions for a concentration of people as opposed to a minor civil division (MCD), which generally is created to provide services or administer an area without regard, necessarily, to population. Places always nest within a state, but may extend across county and county subdivision boundaries. An incorporated place usually is a city, town, village, or borough, but can have other legal descriptions. CDPs are delineated for the decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places. CDPs are delineated to provide data for settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name, but are not legally incorporated under the laws of the state in which they are located. The boundaries for CDPs often are defined in partnership with state, local, and/or tribal officials and usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or another legal entity. CDP boundaries often change from one decennial census to the next with changes in the settlement pattern and development; a CDP with the same name as in an earlier census does not necessarily have the same boundary. The only population/housing size requirement for CDPs is that they must contain some housing and population. The boundaries of most incorporated places in this shapefile are as of January 1, 2021, as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). The boundaries of all CDPs were delineated as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP) for the 2020 Census.

Tabular Summaries- Communities at Risk As part of Montana DNRC’s Montana Wildfire Risk Assessment (MWRA), wildfire risk to homes, commercial buildings, and other structures was assessed across the state. The purpose of this assessment is to identify the counties and communities whose structures are most threatened by wildfire—both on average and in total. The risk-to-structures methods used for this assessment are identical to the methods used for structures within the overall MWRA project. See earlier section 3.4.1 of the report (page 20) for details. This portion of the report addresses only the tabular summaries. The summary methods used in this section were customized to the MWRA results from similar methods previously developed for the Pacific Northwest Risk Assessment (PNRA) and for the national Wildfire Risk to Communities (WRC) project.  The risk-to-structures results were summarized for four sets of summary polygons: MT Counties MT Census County Divisions MT Communities (core plus zone combined) MT Communities (core and zone separate)Each set of summary polygons captures nearly all structures in Montana, without overlap. In the MT Counties set, a summary polygon is an individual county (e.g. Ravalli County). In the MT Census County Divisions (CCD) set, a summary polygon is an individual CCD (e.g., the Sula CCD within Ravalli County). In the MT Communities (core plus zone combined) set, a summary polygon is the community core plus the zone surrounding the core (as defined below). In the MT Communities (core and zone separate) set, a summary polygon is either the community core or the zone surrounding the community core. There are 56 counties in Montana. Each Montana county is divided into at least two Census County Divisions (CCDs), with mean of 3.5 CCDs per county (194 CCDs in total) and a maximum of 11 (Flathead county). For this assessment, a community core was defined as a Populated Place Area (PPA) as identified by the U.S. Census Bureau. PPAs include incorporated cities and towns as well as Census Designated Places (CDPs). A CDP is an unincorporated concentration of population—a statistical counterpart to incorporated cities and towns. There are 364 PPAs across Montana. Of those, 127 (35 percent) are incorporated cities or towns, and 235 (65 percent) are CDPs. Two PPAs—Butte-Silver Bow and Anaconda-Deer Lodge—are unique in that they represent the balance of a county that is not otherwise incorporated; they are much larger in size than most PPAs. In the PPA dataset, the CDPs represent the location of highest concentration of population for a community; they do not include the less-densely populated areas surrounding the PPA. We refer to the U.S. Census PPA delineation as the community “core.” Approximately 66 percent of Montana’s total structure importance can be found within these PPA core areas (Figure A.1 of the Montana Wildfire Risk Assessment report). To include the populated area and structures surrounding the PPAs, Ager and others (2019) used a travel-time analysis to delineate the land areas closest by drive-time to each PPA core, up to a maximum of 45 minutes travel time. Approximately 33 percent of Montana’s total structure importance can be found within 45 minutes travel time of the cores. Only 1 percent of the total structure importance is not within 45-minutes travel time of any community core.

Abstract

ADI: An index of socioeconomic status for communities. Dataset ingested directly from BigQuery.

Documentation

The Area Deprivation Index (ADI) can show where areas of deprivation and affluence exist within a community. The ADI is calculated with 17 indicators from the American Community Survey (ACS) having been well-studied in the peer-reviewed literature since 2003, and used for 20 years by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). High levels of deprivation have been linked to health outcomes such as 30-day hospital readmission rates, cardiovascular disease deaths, cervical cancer incidence, cancer deaths, and all-cause mortality. The 17 indicators from the ADI encompass income, education, employment, and housing conditions at the Census Block Group level.

The ADI is available on BigQuery for release years 2018-2020 and is reported as a percentile that is 0-100% with 50% indicating a "middle of the nation" percentile. Data is provided at the county, ZIP, and Census Block Group levels. Neighborhood and racial disparities occur when some neighborhoods have high ADI scores and others have low scores. A low ADI score indicates affluence or prosperity. A high ADI score is indicative of high levels of deprivation. Raw ADI scores and additional statistics and dataviz can be seen in this ADI story with a BroadStreet free account.
