Sediment Control Permits

An Engineered Sediment Control Permit is required for certain construction activities. An Engineered Sediment Control application must be used for any project subject to sediment control permit requirements that includes stormwater management. If the project is for construction of a new home on an existing recorded lot, you may use an application for Engineered Sediment Control Permit for Single Family Lots; however, this type of application may not be used for construction of townhomes. Relatively minor land disturbing activities may be approved using a Small Land Disturbing Activities (SLDA) application instead of an engineered permit.

Medical Examiner Case Archive

Effective April 1, 2022, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office no longer takes jurisdiction over hospital, nursing home or hospice COVID-19 deaths unless there is another factor that falls within the Office’s jurisdiction. Data continues to be collected for COVID-19 deaths in Cook County on the Illinois Dept. of Public Health COVID-19 dashboard (https://dph.illinois.gov/covid19/data.html).

The Medical Examiner’s Office determines cause and manner of death for those cases that fall under its jurisdiction. Cause of death describes the reason the person died. This dataset includes information from deaths starting in August 2014 to the present, with information updated daily.

Changes:
December 16, 2022: The Cook County Commissioner District field now reflects the boundaries that went into effect December 5, 2022.

September 8, 2023: The Primary Cause field is now a combination of the Primary Cause Line A, Line B, and Line C fields.

Assessor - Parcel Addresses

Situs and mailing addresses of Cook County parcels. Used by the Assessor's office to mail assessment notices.

This dataset was updated in March 2026 to include both owner <i>and</i> taxpayer information. Please note that owner name and mailing address is, to our knowledge, only intermittently updated in the ias source data. Users can use <a href="https://datacatalog.cookcountyil.gov/Property-Taxation/Assessor-Parcel-Sales/wvhk-k5uv/about_data">Parcel Sales data</a> to query owner and seller names.

When working with Parcel Index Numbers (PINs) make sure to zero-pad them to 14 digits. Some datasets may lose leading zeros for PINs when downloaded.

Additional notes:
<ul><li>Newer properties may be missing a mailing or property address, as they need to be assigned one by the postal service.</li>
<li>Rowcount for a given year is final once the Assessor <a href="https://www.cookcountyassessor.com/assessment-calendar-and-deadlines">has certified the assessment roll</a> all townships.</li>

District Court of Maryland Eviction Case Data

A statewide listing of District Court of Maryland Eviction Case Data & its Process.

Maryland enacted a new law in 2022 requiring the District Court of Maryland to collect and report eviction case data.  Additionally, the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development is required to host a dashboard for the public to view and analyze the information, as well as produce an annual report on evictions.

The District Court began collecting the eviction case data required under the law on January 1, 2023, and the public dashboard was launched in May 2023.

https://www.courts.state.md.us/district/about 
under "Eviction Data"

Note: The data will not match the monthly eviction totals that are seen on the District Court of Maryland Landlord/Tenant Case Activity Report.  That data is collected manually by all jurisdictions, as of the end of each month.  Some jurisdictions rely on a total provided by the local Sheriff's department for an accurate count of the total evictions.  Because the data provided in the spreadsheet relies on data entry, the clerks may not have all data entered into the case management system when the report is run.  These evictions will be captured on subsequent month's reports because the reporting looks for when the data is entered by the clerk.

Statewide SPM Poverty Rates Over Time - Children Under 18 year - 1yr ACS - Supplemental Poverty Measure

The Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) dataset comes from the U.S. Census Bureau and is considered to be equal to or even better than the Official Poverty Measure, as a KPI. This dataset contains the SPM statewide over time and includes the number and percentage of people below poverty for select demographics.

Note: The Census Bureau did not release its standard 2020 ACS 1-year estimates because of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, the Census Bureau released experimental estimates from the 1-year data. They are posted on the 2020 ACS 1-Year Experimental Data Release page. They will not be released on data.census.gov and are not included in this dataset.

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. A margin of error is a measure of an estimate’s variability. The larger the margin of error in relation to the size of the estimate, the less reliable the estimate. This number when added to or subtracted from the estimate forms the 90 percent confidence interval. Margin of Error rates for each field in the dataset are attached in the metadata.

The State of Oregon Agency Data Inventory is an enterprise level inventory that provides a listing of all state agency data inventories, as required in HB 3361(2017), and codified in ORS276A.350-374. This statute requires that state agencies must “create and maintain an inventory of agency information resources,” and include an indication as to whether or not the information or dataset is considered “publishable.” They must then contribute this information to an enterprise level data inventory, maintained by the Chief Data Officer, for display on a centralized open data portal.
