Description:
Abstract:
Areas identified as urban, derived from U.S. Census (2010). The boundaries were modified from the original boundaries received from the Census for Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) purposes. This is an update to the FGDL layer URBAN_APR07, which was based on 2000 U.S. Census data. This data should be used for FDOT purposes only, users who are interested in urban boundaries are encouraged to acquire the original data from the Census web site.
Purpose: For reference of Urban Boundaries in the state of Florida.

Process_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.

Process_Description:
The data set was taken from the Florida Department of Transportation Statistics Office's personal geodatabase from the following webpage: <http://www.dot.state.fl.us/planning/statistics/gis> The data set was originally downloaded in January 2015.The data was originally in UTM Zone 17, Nad83, units meters. The data was projected to Albers HPGN.
Metadata did not exist with the original layer, the metadata from the existing FGDL layer (URBAN_APR07) was updated to create this metadata.
-Download the most recent Statewide personal geodatabase -Export URBAN layer to shapefile -Project the shape file to the standard FGDL projection. -Renamed layer from URBAN to URBAN_JAN15 -Upcased Name Field -Deleted FID_, Shape_Leng, Shape_Le_1, Shape_Le_2, Shape_Area -Added DESCRIPT field based on field NAME -Added FGDLAQDATE field based on the date the data was acquired.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. 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>
