Datasets for other geographies were produced separately; metadata for these related datasets may be found here: Alaska https://enviroatlas.epa.gov/enviroatlas/MetadataFGDC/Dasymetric_Population_AK_2020_V1.xml, Conterminous US https://enviroatlas.epa.gov/enviroatlas/MetadataFGDC/Dasymetric_Population_CONUS_2020_V1.xml, Hawaii https://enviroatlas.epa.gov/enviroatlas/MetadataFGDC/Dasymetric_Population_HI_2020_V1.xml, U.S. Virgin Islands https://enviroatlas.epa.gov/enviroatlas/MetadataFGDC/Dasymetric_Population_VI_2020_V1.xml.. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/forms/enviroatlas-data-download) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets). This dataset is used for metrics that require population to be spatially allocated at a higher resolution than census blocks. This dataset is associated with the journal article (Baynes, J., Neale, A., Hultgren, T. (2022). Improving intelligent dasymetric mapping population density estimates at 30 m resolution for the conterminous United States by excluding uninhabited areas. Earth System Science Data, 14(6), 2833-2849. https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-14-2833-2022). The overall goal of EnviroAtlas is to employ and develop the best available science to map indicators of ecosystem services production, demand, and drivers for the nation.

Filtered Streets for Function Class 1. LCMS pixels that aligned with rasterized streets or a slope of greater than 25 % were reclassified to an uninhabited land cover class (Class 0). This reclassified raster was the ancillary raster for intelligent dasymetric mapping. 2022-01-21T00:00:02 Streets polylines (ESRI StreetMap Premium, 1.0/2021) ArcGIS StreetMap Premium North America 2021 Release 1 2021 US Geological Survey (USGS) 30 Meter Resolution, One-Sixtieth Degree National Elevation Dataset for CONUS, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.

Acquired 2020 US Census Blocks with population counts. Projected blocks to match NLCD. Small or irregularly shaped Census Blocks that would not be represented at a 30 m raster were spatially merged with and had their population added to a neighboring block following the methods in Baynes et al. 2022 with an additional step to merge blocks first within their block group when possible, failing that within their census tract. 2022-01-24T00:00:01 US Census Bureau: US Census Bureau: 2020 TIGER/Line Shapefiles 2021-02-02 publication Acquired MapLandArea polygons (ESRI StreetMap Premium, 1.0/2021), land use (2021) and points of interest (Open Street Maps, 2021), rail lines (North American Rail Network Rail Lines, 2019), residential parcels (LANDGRID, 2021), and protected areas (USGS Protected Areas Database of the U.S. 2.1). All databases were projected to match NLCD. LANDGRID parcels with attribute "lbcs_activity" equal to 1100 (Household) were maintained regardless of overlap with uninhabited features. All other features described were treated as uninhabited features for intelligent dasymetric mapping. Features from these databases were selected and spatially merged following the methods in Baynes et al. 2022. 2022-08-15T00:00:00 US Geological Survey, Gap Analysis Program: Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) 2.1 2020-12-23 publication 2.1 2021 Regrid residential parcels LANDGRID Parcel Federal Railroad Administration: North American Rail Lines, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 2019 North American Rail Network Lines 2019-01-01 publication MapLandArea polygons (ESRI StreetMap Premium, 1.0/2021) ArcGIS StreetMap Premium North America 2021 Release 1 Land use 2021 and Places of interest 2021 from OpenStreetMap contributors: Planet dump, Planet OSM.
