EnviroAtlas - New York, NY - Potential Window Views of Water by Block Group
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
This EnviroAtlas dataset describes the block group population and the percentage of the block group population that has potential
views of water bodies. A potential view of water is defined as having a body of water that is greater than 300m2 within 50m
of a residential location. The window views are considered "potential" because the procedure does not account for presence
or directionality of windows in one's home. The residential locations are defined using the EnviroAtlas Dasymetric (2011/October
2015 version) map. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas.
EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application
to view and analyze multiple ecosystem services for the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable
data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas) or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information
about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets).

The purpose of this dataset is to show block groups in the EnviroAtlas community area that have a high number or percentage
of people with potential views of water from their homes. The overall goal of EnviroAtlas is to employ and develop the best
available science to map indicators of ecosystem services production, demand, and drivers for the nation.
