This layer displays the mean distance traveled by commuters, based on the centroids of the census blocks in which the reside and work. The mean was calculated excluding those records where the distance traveled was over 125 miles one-way. Additional data layers are available which show the proportion of commuters with a short (< 5 miles), moderate (5 – 25 miles), long (25 – 75 miles), or very long (75 – 125 miles) commute.
This layer displays the net commuting flow for counties and census tracts from the 2022 LEHD Location-Origin Dataset. Other commuting data layers are also available in the same data release including out commuters, in commuters, and workplace area characteristics. These other layers can be found by searching for LEHD.
This layer displays the total count and percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch of each school for SY 2021-22. Data are from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) Public Elementary/Secondary School Universe Survey Data (2021-22).
This layer displays all public schools for SY 2021-22. Data are from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) Public Elementary/Secondary School Universe Survey Data (2020-21). Also available map layers are:
This layer displays the median household income. Data are from the latest US Census Bureau Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) dataset.
This layer displays the total number and percentage of children in poverty (in households with income or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level). Data are from the latest US Census Bureau Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates (SAIPE) dataset and are available at the county, state, and school-district level.
The Social Vulnerability Index map displays the final Social Vulnerability Index Score and the four theme scores (Socioeconomic, Household Composition, Minority Status, and Housing & Transportation) of each county/census tract ranked against all counties/tracts in the United States. County and tract level data are acquired from the CDC/ATSDR Social Vulnerability Index, 2020.
The Flood Hazard Zones are extracted from the National Flood Hazard Layer, which is a database that contains FEMA’s flood hazard map data. The database contains flood hazard information and supporting data used to develop the information. The primary flood hazard classification is indicated in the Flood Hazard Zones layer.
Flood zones are geographic areas that FEMA has defined according to varying levels of flood risk and type of flooding. For complete information about different flood zone designations, please visit the Definitions of FEMA Flood Zones web page.
Flood Hazard Zone Descriptions:
Floodway: The stream channel and that portion of the adjacent floodplain which must remain open to permit passage of the base flood.
1% Annual Chance Flood Zone: The 100-year or base floodplain.
0.2% Annual Chance Flood Zone: Area of moderate flood hazard, usually the area between the limits of the 100-year and 500-year floodplains, but also shallow flooding areas (< 1 foot) or flood zones for small drainage areas (< 1 square mile).
Area with Reduced Risk Due to Levee: Areas protected by levees from the 100-year flood.
1% Annual Chance Future Considerations: The 100-year floodplain based on anticipated future land-use conditions.
Area of Undetermined Hazard: Area of undetermined but possible flood hazard, typically occurring in counties with partial flood studies.

This layer displays the Cropland Data Layer (CDL) developed by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The CDL is a raster, geo-referenced, crop-specific land cover data layer created annually for the continental United States using moderate resolution satellite imagery and extensive agricultural ground truth. The CDL has a ground resolution of 10 meters, and is validated using data from the USDA Farm Services Agency and United States Geological Survey, however CARES has resampled the data to 30 meters to reduce file size and server load. Historical CDL products are available for use and free for download through CropScape (https://nassgeodata.gmu.edu/CropScape/).
Layer displays information about the insurance status of the population age 0-64. The data are from the 2020 Small Area Health Insurance Estimates, released by the US Census Bureau in August, 2022.
