Urban Areas 2020

This resource is a member of a series. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. After each decennial census, the Census Bureau delineates urban areas that represent densely developed territory, encompassing residential, commercial, and other nonresidential urban land uses. In general, this territory consists of areas of high population density and urban land use resulting in a representation of the urban footprint. There are 2,646 Urban Areas (UAs) in this data release with either a minimum population of 5,000 or a housing unit count of 2,000 units. Each urban area is identified by a 5-character numeric census code that may contain leading zeroes.
Tracts 2020

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Census tracts are small, relatively permanent statistical subdivisions of a county or equivalent entity, and were defined by local participants as part of the 2020 Census Participant Statistical Areas Program. The Census Bureau delineated the census tracts in situations where no local participant existed or where all the potential participants declined to participate. The primary purpose of census tracts is to provide a stable set of geographic units for the presentation of census data and comparison back to previous decennial censuses. Census tracts generally have a population size between 1,200 and 8,000 people, with an optimum size of 4,000 people. When first delineated, census tracts were designed to be homogeneous with respect to population characteristics, economic status, and living conditions. The spatial size of census tracts varies widely depending on the density of settlement. Physical changes in street patterns caused by highway construction, new development, and so forth, may require boundary revisions. In addition, census tracts occasionally are split due to population growth, or combined as a result of substantial population decline. Census tract boundaries generally follow visible and identifiable features. They may follow legal boundaries such as minor civil division (MCD) or incorporated place boundaries in some States and situations to allow for census tract-to-governmental unit relationships where the governmental boundaries tend to remain unchanged between censuses. State and county boundaries always are census tract boundaries in the standard census geographic hierarchy. In a few rare instances, a census tract may consist of noncontiguous areas. These noncontiguous areas may occur where the census tracts are coextensive with all or parts of legal entities that are themselves noncontiguous. For the 2020 Census, the census tract code range of 9400 through 9499 was enforced for census tracts that include a majority American Indian population according to Census 2010 data and/or their area was primarily covered by federally recognized American Indian reservations and/or off-reservation trust lands; the code range 9800 through 9899 was enforced for those census tracts that contained little or no population and represented a relatively large special land use area such as a National Park, military installation, or a business/industrial park; and the code range 9900 through 9998 was enforced for those census tracts that contained only water area.
Student Growth

This file contains the average percent of student growth achieved in English/Language Arts, Mathematics, and English Language Proficiency. The statistics reported are those used within Delaware Student Success Framework (DSSF) since 2018. Each student has a growth target to achieve in ELA (grades 4-8), Math (grades 4-8), and, if an English Learner, in English Language Proficiency (grades K-12).The average percent of student growth achieved statistic shows, on average, how close a group of students came to achieving their target.
Student Graduation

This file contains number of students and the corresponding graduation rate of students who receive a regular high school diploma at the end of their high school matriculation. There may be up to three graduation rates for a given school year. The 4-year rate represents the number of students who graduate with a regular diploma within 4 years of enrolling as a first-time freshman (9th grader). The 5-year rate represents the number of students who graduate with a regular diploma within 5 years of enrolling as a first-time freshman. The 6-year rate represents the number of students who graduate with a regular diploma within 6 years of enrolling as a first-time freshman. Because the 5- and 6-year graduation rates include those students who graduated within 4 years, the 5- and 6- year rates will generally be larger than the 4-year graduation rate.
Student Enrollment

This file contains two enrollment statistics for a given school year. First, it shows the end-of-year enrollment, which contains any actively enrolled student in a Delaware public school for at least one day. Since end-of-year enrollment allows for student movement between schools, students entering schools from out of state, and students leaving schools, the total number of students are not meant to reflect the actual number of students enrolled at any point-in-time. End-of-year enrollment is meant to show the total number of students being educated within the public school system within a school year. The second key statistic is Fall enrollment. This snapshot is taken at the beginning of each school year to help the state properly allocate resources to schools. Fall enrollment is generally smaller than end-of-year enrollment.
Small Business Focus 2025

Senate Districts

Redistricting after federal decennial census. The apportionment provided for by this chapter shall continue in effect until the official reporting by the President of the United States of the next federal decennial census. Within 120 calendar days following the receipt, by the entity designated by the Governor, of the federal decennial census data for redistricting pursuant to Public Law 94-171, the General Assembly shall reapportion and redistrict the State, wherever necessary, for the general election of 2032 and thereafter in such a manner that the several representative and senatorial districts shall comply, insofar as possible, with the criteria set forth in § 804(1)-(4) of this title. Such apportionment shall thence continue in effect until the next succeeding federal decennial census.
Public Crash Data

The Delaware Department of Safety and Homeland Security (DSHS) is the official custodian of Delaware crash reports and is responsible for statewide crash data collection and dissemination. A crash report is a summary of information collected about a collision and is filled out by a Delaware law enforcement officer who is investigating the crash. The data contained on FirstMap and the Open Data Portal represents the best available information at DSHS and is not an official record of what transpired in a particular crash or for a particular crash type and does not contain personal information. This data is generated from crash reports and allows any member of the public to engage in interactive analysis and data exploration for the purpose of identifying, evaluating or planning the safety enhancement of potential crash sites, hazardous roadway conditions, or railway-highway crossings. This data is updated monthly and contains crashes that occurred since 2009 through six months ago. Official crash reports are confidential and are not a public record under the Delaware Freedom of Information Act. Authorized parties may contact the reporting police agency directly for official copies of crash reports (21 Del. C. §313). DSHS is committed to bringing public awareness to crash information. The Office of Highway Safety’s annual reports ([https://ohs.delaware.gov/reports.shtml]), the Office of Highway Safety’s annual safety plan ([https://ohs.delaware.gov/reports.shtml]), and the Delaware State Police Traffic Statistical Reports ([https://dsp.delaware.gov/reports/]) also contain a variety of information and data. In addition, the State of Delaware’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan is available at [https://deldot.gov/Programs/DSHSP/index.shtml] and is updated every five years.

Opportunity Zones

Opportunity Zones are a new community development program established by Congress as a part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, they are designed to encourage long-term private investments in low-income communities. This program provides a federal tax incentive for taxpayers who reinvest unrealized capital gains into "Opportunity Funds," which are specialized vehicles dedicated to investing in low-income areas called "Opportunity Zones."The zones themselves are to be comprised of low-income community census tracts and designated by governors in every state. South Carolina designated 25 percent of qualifying census tracts as an Opportunity Zone. Qualifying Zones are based on the 2011-2015 American Community Survey.

Natural Areas

In 1978, the State of Delaware enacted the Natural Areas Preservation System (7 Del. Code, Chapter 73) for the purpose of establishing an inventory of natural areas statewide and a system of nature preserves. A "natural area" as defined by the law is an "area of land or water, or of both land and water, whether in public or private ownership, which either retains or has reestablished its natural character (although it need not be undisturbed), or has unusual flora or fauna, or has biotic, geological, scenic or archaeological features of scientific or educational value. This data set depicts the current Natural Areas as identified by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control.
Inmate Population

The Delaware Department of Correction (DOC) operates four prison facilities (Level V), eight quasi-incarceration community corrections facilities that serve as violation of probation centers or work release centers (Level IV), and five Probation & Parole locations (Levels III, II, and I). Offenders may also be supervised while on home confinement, or the offender may be supervised on an administrative basis only while restitution is paid. Some offenders are physically housed at the Delaware Psychiatric Center while in the custody of the DOC. This dataset provides a snapshot of the offender population in custody or under supervision at these various locations on the last day of each calendar month. A count of how many offenders by the year, month (snapshot of last day of month), county, type of institution, institution name, sentence type, gender, race, and ethnicity can be produced by selecting the desired variable in each category. Questions about offender data can be directed to the DOC’s Planning & Research Unit. Instructions for submitting a data request can be found here: http://www.doc.delaware.gov/datarequests.shtml. The DOC’s annual reports (http://www.doc.delaware.gov/annualReport.shtml) also contain a variety of information and data.
I Can Help with Supplies During Coronavirus Response

The Government Support Services (GSS) office within Office of Management of Budget (OMB) administers statewide central contracts for use by state agencies, school districts, and municipalities. During Delaware’s response to the Coronavirus Disease, GSS and the Government Information Center (GIC) are providing support to the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) in sourcing personal protective equipment (PPE). In providing sourcing support, this dataset is based on information submitted by individuals, for-profit entities, and non-profit entities through the I Can Help with Supplies portal and the Contracting resource mailbox. **Please note that GSS makes no claims of validity of the offers nor does their inclusion here suggest that the State has validated and verified the legitimacy of any vendor claims. This is a resource listing for consideration in individual users verification and due diligence processes.**
Food Establishment Inspection Violations

This is a public use data file on Delaware Food Establishment inspections for the past two years. It includes a list of food establishments with violations reported during inspections. There may be more than one record for a specific food establishment for a specific inspection date. Multiple records for the same food establishment and inspection date indicate multiple violations. If you have questions regarding a food inspection report, whether currently reported or for a prior reporting period, please contact the Office of Food Protection at 302-744-4546.
Food Bank of Delaware Meal Gaps

As part of the 2023 release, Map the Meal Gap includes food insecurity estimates disaggregated by race and ethnicity for some groups: people who identified themselves as Black (all ethnicities), Latino or Hispanic (all races), and white non-Hispanic in the federal data used in the study. Due to constraints with the available federal data, we assumed that the race or ethnicity of the household respondent matched the race/ethnicity of all household members when calculating these numbers. We have included these estimates to illuminate further the relationship that food insecurity has to racism and structural oppression, and we believe developing effective strategies to reach people at risk of hunger requires access to the numbers that reflect the experiences of specific populations.
House of Representatives

Redistricting after federal decennial census. The apportionment provided for by this chapter shall continue in effect until the official reporting by the President of the United States of the next federal decennial census. Within 120 calendar days following the receipt, by the entity designated by the Governor, of the federal decennial census data for redistricting pursuant to Public Law 94-171, the General Assembly shall reapportion and redistrict the State, wherever necessary, for the general election of 2032 and thereafter in such a manner that the several representative and senatorial districts shall comply, insofar as possible, with the criteria set forth in § 804(1)-(4) of this title. Such apportionment shall thence continue in effect until the next succeeding federal decennial census.

Delaware RSV Wastewater Viral Activity Levels

This dataset and methodology are provided for public use by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Public health teams use this data to track trends and guide prevention efforts, such as sharing health tips, increasing testing, or offering more vaccination options. Wastewater monitoring helps communities detect rising infection rates early. People with certain illnesses shed tiny pieces of virus when they use the bathroom or wash up—even when they don’t feel sick. These fragments travel through the sewage system, where samples are collected and tested. The Wastewater Viral Activity Level (WVAL) shows how much virus is present in wastewater and ranges from very low to very high: • Up to 2.5: Very Low • Greater than 2.5 and up to 5.2: Low • Greater than 5.2 and up to 8: Moderate • Greater than 8 and up to 11: High • Greater than 11: Very High States and territories may have a higher density of sampling sites in certain geographic areas, so the median wastewater viral activity level may not represent the wastewater viral activity level for every community in the state or territory.
