California's Groundwater Update 2020 (Bulletin 118)

California's Groundwater Update 2020 (CalGW) is California's foremost technical publication on groundwater in the state of California. CalGW, formally known as Bulletin 118, is legislatively mandated by Water Code 12924 to be updated every 5 years by the California Department of Water Resources. 

This dataset includes the full publication of CalGW - Update 2020, a link to the new [California's Groundwater Live](https://sgma.water.ca.gov/CalGWLive/) platform and all supporting data used in the creation of the report which was finalized on November 16, 2021. CalGW - Update 2020 consists of an Executive Summary (Highlights) and seven chapters commonly referred to as the Statewide Report. Due to the large file sizes, the Update has been broken into multiple pdf documents for the ease of downloading these large files. 

For more information on California's Groundwater (Bulletin 118) including historical publications please visit [California's Groundwater (Bulletin 118) Open Data Page](https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/california-s-groundwater-bulletin-118-archive).

Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS)

The Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program is a Federal-State cooperative effort in which monthly estimates of total employment and unemployment are prepared for approximately 7,600 areas, including counties, cities and metropolitan statistical areas. These estimates are key indicators of local economic conditions. 

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor is responsible for the concepts, definitions, technical procedures, validation, and publication of the estimates that State workforce agencies prepare under agreement with BLS. 

Estimates for counties are produced through a building-block approach known as the "Handbook method." This procedure also uses data from several sources, including the CPS, the CES program, state UI systems, and the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS), to create estimates that are adjusted to the statewide measures of employment and unemployment. Estimates for cities are prepared using disaggregation techniques based on inputs from the ACS, annual population estimates, and current UI data.

Greater Sage-grouse Range - NE CA - 2005 [ds96]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 6 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>This dataset was developed to map changes in greater sage-grouse range over time in northeastern California.  Records in this dataset represent current and historic range.  Current and historic range were mapped and reported on by Frank Hall in Determining Changes in Abundance of Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) in California, August 1995.  The ranges were hand drawn on 1:250,000 scale USGS maps and then digitized in ArcInfo. For a larger range mapping project and range continuity, input from DFG and BLM wildlife biologists in northern California, southern Oregon, and western Nevada was collected using the same methods; hand drawn ranges on 1:250,000 scale USGS maps and then digitized in ArcInfo.  In 2005, Hall modified the current range that is represented in this dataset.      Number of records:  There are 9 polygons representing current or historic range.    Geographic extent of records:  Extent includes Siskiyou, Modoc, Lassen, Sierra, Plumas, and Shasta Counties in California.</SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Areas mapped in the enhanced lifeform map as anything except upland herbaceous or non-native herbaceous were excluded from the matrix. These matrix polygons were incorporated into the final grassland map and flagged "Yes” in the field “Matrix Flag.”. The methods used for this vegetation sampling and mapping project are consistent with the Manual of California Vegetation and followed protocols established by CDFW VegCAMP and CNPS. This map was made in 2023.</span></p><p><span>This fine scale grassland map represents native grasslands and low-cover shrublands throughout select East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) lands – a 74-class grassland map with 2,805 polygons. The mapping was conducted in the spring-summer of 2023 and 2024. The map also includes a non-native matrix covering areas not mapped as native grasslands or low-cover shrublands. After field work concluded, field staff conducted a thorough quality assurance process, which involved checking for polygons under the 1/5-acre minimum mapping unit (MMU), overlapping polygons, and accurate data attribution.</span></p><p><span>Spatial data for this project is also available on pacificvegmap.org.

COVID-19 Blueprint for a Safer Economy Data Chart (ARCHIVED)

__Note__: Blueprint has been retired as of June 15, 2021. This dataset will be kept up for historical purposes, but will no longer be updated.

California has a new blueprint for reducing COVID-19 in the state with revised criteria for loosening and tightening restrictions on activities. Every county in California is assigned to a tier based on its test positivity and adjusted case rate for tier assignment. Additionally, a new health equity metric took effect on October 6, 2020. In order to advance to the next less restrictive tier, each county will need to meet an equity metric or demonstrate targeted investments to eliminate disparities in levels of COVID-19 transmission, depending on its size. The California Health Equity Metric is designed to help guide counties in their continuing efforts to reduce COVID-19 cases in all communities and requires more intensive efforts to prevent and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 among Californians who have been disproportionately impacted by this pandemic.

Please see https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/COVID19CountyMonitoringOverview.aspx for more information.

Also, in lieu of a Data Dictionary, please refer to the detailed explanation of the data columns in Appendix 1 of the above webpage.

Because this data is in machine-readable format, the merged headers at the top of the source spreadsheet have not been included:

- The first 8 columns are under the header "County Status as of Tier Assignment"

-  The next 3 columns are under the header "Current Data Week Tier and Metric Tiers for Data Week"

Physicians Actively Working by Specialty and Activity Hours

These datasets contain aggregated responses from the HCAI Health Workforce License Renewal Survey  for Physician and Surgeon and Osteopathic Physician and Surgeon licensees. The data are limited to physicians whose license was in an Active Status   and who indicated they were actively working in a position that required their license as of April 3, 2025.

The license renewal survey utilizes a cell-based weighting methodology to estimate the total count of licensed individuals and accounts for individuals that decline to provide a response or who have not yet taken the survey. The presented estimated counts were calculated by multiplying county level weighted percentages for each metric by the total count of active licenses within each county.  If no physicians within a given specialty and county provided a response to the activity hours question, the statewide mode for that specialty was used.

Note: Previous versions of this dataset utilized raw counts rather than a cell-based weighting approach and did not take into account whether physicians were actively working in their field. 

In addition, the previous version of this dataset (as of April 3, 2024) contained errors regarding the total number of “Unsurveyed” individuals within each county. For more information regarding this issue, please contact the Workforce Data team using the email address below.

Pre-2012 Hospital Annual Financial Data - Selected Data & Pivot Tables

On an annual basis (individual hospital fiscal year), individual hospitals and hospital systems report detailed facility-level data on services capacity, inpatient/outpatient utilization, patients, revenues and expenses by type and payer, balance sheet and income statement.  

Due to the large size of the complete dataset, a selected set of data representing a wide range of commonly used data items, has been created that can be easily managed and downloaded. The selected data file includes general hospital information, utilization data by payer, revenue data by payer, expense data by natural expense category, financial ratios, and labor information.

There are two groups of data contained in this dataset:
1) Selected Data - Calendar Year:  To make it easier to compare hospitals by year, hospital reports with report periods ending within a given calendar year are grouped together.  The Pivot Tables for a specific calendar year are also found here.
2) Selected Data - Fiscal Year:  Hospital reports with report periods ending within a given fiscal year (July-June) are grouped together.
