Abstract:
Areas identified as urban, derived from Census files (2000). The boundaries were modified from the original boundaries received from the Census for FDOT purposes.
Purpose: For reference of Urban Boundaries in the state of Florida

THE DATA INCLUDED IN FGDL ARE 'AS IS' AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS LEGALLY BINDING. THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA GEOPLAN CENTER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF USING, MODIFYING, CONTRIBUTING OR DISTRIBUTING THE MATERIALS.

A note about data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Process_Description:
The urban boundaries shape file is based on the original urban boundaries provided by the Census. Each District was tasked with smoothing the urban boundaries in their area, thus modifying the original data. This is done in conjunction with updating functional classification, which is coded based on urban or rural. The data was received by Central Office GIS from each District. The data was quality checked for duplicate polygons, slivers, null values for Name, etc, and returned to the Districts if cleanup was necessary. Once all of the urban boundaries from each District were received and verified for quality, they were merged into one shape file. This file was examined in Central Office along with functional classification roads to ensure that roads that fell along the urban boundary were completely within or outside of the urban boundary. With guidance from the Districts, some urban boundaries were modified very slightly to ensure that roads are completely within or outside of the urban boundary.
