Description: This dataset contains the US Census Bureau 2015 Census Block Groups for the State of Florida with selected fields from the 2014-2018 American Community Survey (ACS). Some of the fields included in this dataset are total population, education, and housing and economic characteristics. This data is at the block group level. In addition, fields have been added and calculated. The ACS was designed to replace the long-form of the decennial census. The ACS is a survey that releases data annually. ACS data are survey estimates distributed for 1-, 3-, and 5-year time periods. The 5-year estimates are the only time period estimates that provide data at the block group level. This data is designed for use within the Florida Department of Transportation?s Efficient Transportation Decision Making Process (ETDM). However, the subset of ACS fields included herein is useful for a variety of applications and uses. If you are looking for census block group data with the decennial census counts, please see the FGDL layer CENBLKGRP_2010.
Description: The Maximum Speed Limit feature class shows the posted speed limit as derived from event mapping Feature 311, characteristic MAXSPEED from the FDOT Roadway Characteristics Inventory data.
Description: The Roads with Pavement Conditions feature class covers the state of Florida at a scale of 1:24,000 with a projection system of Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) 17 North zone and a horizontal datum of North American 1983 (NAD 1983). The map units are in meters.
Description: 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. After each decennial census, the Census Bureau delineates urban areas that represent densely developed territory, encompassing residential, commercial, and other nonresidential urban land uses. In general, this territory consists of areas of high population density and urban land use resulting in a representation of the "urban footprint." There are two types of urban areas: urbanized areas (UAs) that contain 50,000 or more people and urban clusters (UCs) that contain at least 2,500 people, but fewer than 50,000 people (except in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam which each contain urban clusters with populations greater than 50,000). Each urban area is identified by a 5-character numeric census code that may contain leading zeroes.A population field extracted from the 2010 Census block data was added to this file in April 2012 for query purposes.The Federal Highway Administration only recognizes areas with a population of 5,000 or greater. This dataset was queried from the original census data to meet that criteria. The data was then sent to the Districts to coordinate smoothing efforts.
