Description: This dataset contains the US Census Bureau 2020 Census Places for the State of Florida with selected fields from the 2016-2020 American Community Survey (ACS). Some of the fields included in this dataset are total population, education, and housing and economic characteristics. This data is at the Census Place level. The ACS was designed to replace the long-form of the decennial census. The ACS is a survey that releases data annually. ACS data are survey estimates distributed for 1-, 3-, and 5-year time periods. The 5-year estimates were used for this layer. This data is designed for use within the Florida Department of Transportation Efficient Transportation Decision Making Process (ETDM). However, the subset of ACS fields included herein is useful for a variety of applications and uses.
Description: This dataset contains the US Census Bureau 2010 Census Places for the State of Florida with the total population from Summary File 1. This data is specifically designed for use within the Florida Department of Transportation's Efficient Transportation Decision Making Process (ETDM) . TIGER/Line Files include both incorporated places (legal entities) and census designated places or CDPs (statistical entities). An incorporated place is established to provide governmental functions for a concentration of people as opposed to a minor civil division (MCD), which generally is created to provide services or administer an area without regard, necessarily, to population. Places always nest within a State, but may extend across county and county subdivision boundaries. An incorporated place usually is a city, town, village, or borough, but can have other legal descriptions. CDPs are delineated for the decennial census as the statistical counterparts of incorporated places. CDPs are delineated to provide data for settled concentrations of population that are identifiable by name, but are not legally incorporated under the laws of the State in which they are located. The boundaries for CDPs often are defined in partnership with State, local, and/or tribal officials and usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or another legal entity. CDP boundaries often change from one decennial census to the next with changes in the settlement pattern and development; a CDP with the same name as in an earlier census does not necessarily have the same boundary. The only population/housing size requirement for CDPs for the 2010 Census is that they must contain some housing and population. The boundaries of all 2010 Census incorporated places are as of January 1, 2010 as reported through the Census Bureau's Boundary and Annexation Survey (BAS). The boundaries of all 2010 Census CDPs were delineated as part of the Census Bureau's Participant Statistical Areas Program (PSAP).
