Number of Farms

This layer displays the number of farms in each state and county.

Tree Canopy Areas

This layer shows the percentage of land area covered by tree canopy based on data from the 2016 The National Land Cover Database (NLCD) Percent Tree Canopy Collection. The NLCD tree canopy imagery is a product of the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), and is produced through a cooperative project conducted by the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium (www.mrlc.gov). Tree canopy values range from 0 to 100 percent.

In order to generate percent tree canopy values for census geographies, the NLCD 2016 Percent Tree Canopy Analytical Dataset was processed using ESRI Zonal Statistics tools. Zones were based on US Census Block Group boundaries from the ESRI Map Data pack for ArcGIS 10.6. These figures were aggregated and mapped at the census block group, census tract and county levels. Census tract and county figures are also available as population weighted percentages based on 2010 Decennial Census figures.

Average Number of High-Speed Internet Providers

This layer displays variation in the number of high-speed internet providers across the United States. Data are from the August, 2019 release of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Fixed Broadband Deployment Dataset and reflect conditions as of June 2018. Data are available by county, census tract, and census block group. Values are population-weighted; caculations do not include cellular internet providers.
