LA County Flood Control District Feature Layer

The Los Angeles County Flood Control District (District) was established in 1915 and encompasses approximately 2,758 square miles. The District operates and maintains one of the most complex systems of flood control and water conservation in the Country. The District’s current infrastructure includes 14 major dams and reservoirs, 483 miles of concrete and soft-bottom channels, 3,380 miles of underground storm drain conduits, 82,275 catch basins, 48 pump stations, 173 debris basins, 181 crib dams, 29 sediment placement sites, 27 spreading grounds, 21 low-flow diversion structures, 3 seawater barrier systems with 290 seawater barrier injection wells, 1 constructed wetland, and 1 mitigation bank area. Employees of the Los Angeles County Public Works (PW) serve as staff for the District. The District is separate from PW and funds of each entity remain in separate accounts. PW pays the District for the use of District equipment, materials and property used for County purposes. The District is empowered to carry out the objectives of the Los Angeles County Flood Control Act of 1915, California Water Code, Appendix, Chapter 28 (the Act). The objectives are to provide for the control and conservation of flood, storm and other wastewater and to protect from damage such as flood or storm waters, the harbors, waterways, public highways and property within the District. These powers are exercised by the County Board of Supervisors (Board), which acts as the governing body of the District. The duties of the Board include approving the District’s budget, determining the District’s tax rates, approving contracts, and determining when to issue bonds authorized by the voters of the District.
City Boundaries Lines

This line feature layer contains Legal City boundaries within Los Angeles County. The principal attribute is BDRY_TYPE which represents the boundary feature types. Use its values below for definition queries and layer symbology for your mapping needs. Coast - This value represents the coastline. This data is carefully maintained by DPW staff, based Los Angeles Region Imagery Acquisition Consortium data. Land City - This value represents city boundaries on land. Land County - This value represents the county boundary on land. Pier - One example is the Santa Monica Pier. Man-made features may be regarded as extensions of the coastline. Breakwater - Examples include the breakwater barriers that protect the Los Angeles Harbor. Water - This value is used to separate features representing internal navigable waters and the ocean. Examples of internal waters are found in the Long Beach Harbor and in Marina del Rey. Ocean - This value is used to represent ocean boundaries between cities in addition to the seaward boundaries of coastal cities. Per the Submerged Lands Act, the seaward boundaries of coastal cities and unincorporated county areas are three nautical miles (a nautical mile is 1852 meters) from the coastline.
Township Range Section & Rancho Boundaries

Background PLSS (from wikipedia) The Public Land Survey System (PLSS) is the surveying method used historically over the largest fraction of the United States to survey and spatially identify land parcels before designation of eventual ownership, particularly for rural, wild or undeveloped land. It is sometimes referred to as the rectangular survey system (although nonrectangular methods such as meandering can also be used). Ranchos The Spanish and, later, Mexican governments encouraged settlement of territory now known as California by the establishment of large land grants called ranchos, from which the English word ranch is derived. Land-grant titles (concessions) were government-issued, permanent, unencumbered property-ownership rights to land called ranchos. Why this dataset? This dataset was created in order to integrate the boundaries from two different datasets – a Rancho Boundary file from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and a parcel-accurate Township Range Section file created by the LA County Department of Public Works. There are many sources of this data out there, but the rancho are holes in the PLSS datasets and the TRS is a hole in the rancho files. This combines both of those. Method of conflation These two datasets were combined, and any holes and overlaps were conflated to match the Rancho boundaries that were created by BLM. Fields * LABEL - Name of Rancho or TRS * TOWNSHIP -Township Number * RANGE- Range Number * SECTION- Section Number * TYPE- IF this is a TRS or a Rancho * MAP_LINK- Link to Rancho map

Los Angeles County Flood Control District Right of Way Parcels

This dataset seeks to encapsulate right of way parcel information for the Los Angeles County Flood Control District(LACFCD). It contains polygons representing each parcel and attribute information information that lists the basic identification information of those parcels. There is also information on the underlying right-of-way map that the parcel polygon and attributes are based on--with a link to that map in the Land Records Information Website. This data is maintained by the Right of Way Section of the Survey/Mapping and Property Management Division of the Department of Public Works. It is drawn to be coincident with the county's landbase linework and thus may not be a true representation of a parcel's boundary. It is intended to be used as a general information tool and is not survey quality. Field List * Facility * * The primary name of the facility this parcel belongs to. Typically the name of the river, stream, or drainage project it is a part of. * Parcel_No * * The identification number for a particular parcel within a facility. The parcel number is not necessarilly unique. * Estate * * The type of estate that the LACFCD holds over a particular parcel. This field will list the following attributes: * * Fee: * * The LACFCD owns the parcel outright. * Easement: * * The LACFCD holds an easement over this parcel. The type of easement is not listed in this data. It can usually be found in the linked right of way map or by contacting Right of Way Engineering. * Quitclaim: * * This is a parcel which the LACFCD owned or had an easement over at some point but has now sold, released its claim, or transferred its right of way to another party. * Other: * * This is a catch-all attribute for any sort of relationship that does not fit in the other estate types. One example of this is a permit that grants temporary rights to the LACFCD. * Map_No * * The primary right of way map that shows a parcel and that served as the basis for the information shown in the dataset. These maps are maintained and are considered to take precedence over the data in this dataset. * MapLink * * This is a link to a a scan of the map, if one exists, listed in the "Map_No" field. These are color scans found in the LA County's Land Records Information Website.

2020 Census Designated Places

The Census Designated Places 2020 (CDP 2020) boundary usually is defined by the Census Bureau in cooperation with state, local or tribal officials. The boundaries are updated prior to each decennial census. These boundaries, which usually coincide with visible features or the boundary of an adjacent incorporated place or another legal entity boundary, have no legal status, nor do these places have officials elected to serve traditional municipal functions. CDP boundaries may change from one decennial census to the next with changes in the settlement pattern; a CDP with the same name as in an earlier census does not necessarily have the same boundary. CDPs must be contained within a single state and may not extend into an incorporated place. There are no population size requirements for CDPs. incorporated CDP data is download from Census Bureau's TIGER 2020 website ([https://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2020/PLACE/]) and extracted for Los Angeles County. This data includes LA County 88 incorporated cities and 54 CDPs.

Underground Gas Storage Sites

Both active and inactive sites have been included. All records include facility name, facility owner, status, address, city, zip code, and latitude and longitude coordinates. Gas storage sites are important for the supply and distribution of natural gas. Although gas storage sites have been designed to minimize risks and ensure the safety of the community, persons living or working nearby should be aware of the potential for gas leaks, fire and explosion hazards, or groundwater contamination. Nearby communities should be aware of the facility, understand the potential risk, and be prepared in case of emergency. If not properly managed, plugged gas storage sites can still have significant environmental and health impacts. For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the [initiative homepage.]
Farmers’ Markets

This indicator provides information about the geographic locations for farmers’ markets, including site name, address, city, and zip code. Farmers’ markets are valuable community resources that can promote healthy eating by making fresh and in-season fruits and vegetables readily available to residents.

Toxics Release Inventory Sites

This indicator provides information about the geographic locations of sites that submitted a report to the federal [Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Program], which is administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA requires that all facilities using toxic chemicals above established levels submit an annual report. The information is made available to the public through the TRI. All records include facility name, address, city, zip code, and latitude and longitude coordinates. Living or working near facilities releasing toxic chemicals has been attributed to both short-term and long-term human health and environmental effects. Some examples of this include cancer risk, respiratory problems, and skin and eye irritation. The information provided by the TRI helps inform the community about the potential health risks posed by living or working near a TRI facility. With this information, communities can reduce their risk and prepare for an emergency. For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the [initiative homepage.]

Healthy Places Index (3.0)

The California Healthy Places Index 3.0 data file was acquired on 04/25/22 from the Public Health Institute on behalf of the Public Health Alliance of Southern California. According to the Public Health Institute, "The HPI tool evaluates the relationship between 23 identified key drivers of health and life expectancy at birth -- which can vary dramatically by neighborhood. Based on that analysis, it produces a score ranking from 1 to 99 that shows the relative impact of conditions in a selected area compared to all other such places in the state." The HPI score is divided across four quartiles. (The Enhanced HPI 3.0: Advancing Health Equity Through High-Quality Data) Potential indicators assigned to eight policy action areas (domains): 1. Economics 2. Education 3. Healthcare access 4. Housing 5. Neighborhood Conditions 6. Clean Environment 7. Social Environment 8. Transportation An HPI score, domains, and individual indicator values and their percentile rankings are presented in the table. For more information, visit the California Healthy Places Index website at https://www.healthyplacesindex.org/ Process Converted the XLSX file received from the Public Health Institute to a file geodatabase table. Filtered the statewide data to Los Angeles County only. The filtered dataset retains the original default HPI score rank, which is based on conditions across statewide census tracts. Edited field alias names for readability. Joined table to CENSUS_TRACTS_2010 from the Los Angeles County eGIS Data Repository. Exported to new file geodatabase feature class.
Population Living Below 100% of the Federal Poverty Level

The Federal Poverty Level is a measure of poverty issued every year by the US Department of Health and Human Services. The 2022 FPL thresholds for a family of four correspond to annual incomes of $27,750 (100% FPL), $55,500 (200% FPL), and $83,250 (300% FPL). The Federal Poverty Level is used to determine eligibility for certain programs and benefits. Living in poverty has a profound impact on health and wellbeing. People living in poverty are at high risk for economic hardship, housing insecurity, food insecurity, chronic stress, and inadequate access to healthcare.
