Settlement Points: | These settlement points were created using OpenStreetMap (OSM) Building Footprints. Esri is a supporter of the OSM project, www.OpenStreetMap.org. The buildings were constrained to include only residential housing units. The buildings were verified and improved upon using the latest Esri imagery and HERE (Esri StreetMap Premium Layers (LandArea, BuiltUpArea)). When necessary, household values were distributed evenly onto multiunit residential buildings using a top-down approach with the Michael Bauer Research household values from the lowest level geographies. |
