County Boundary - SCAG Region

Counties are primary legal divisions of states. In California, the Census Bureau cooperatively delineate these census areas for statistical purposes. Each county has a 3-character FIPS code that is unique within a state, and an 8-character ANSI code. The FIPS code for the state of California is 06. The FIPS codes for the SCAG counties are the following: Imperial = 025; Los Angeles = 036; Orange =059; Riverside = 65; San Bernardino = 071; and Ventura = 111. The county layer data was downloaded from the US Census and projected and extracted for the SCAG region. In addition, it was clipped for cartographic purposes. SCAG REGION 2020 CENSUS GEOGRAPHIES provides more detailed information on the layer and coding system like CLASSFP and FUNCSTAT codes and their descriptions. FIPS Class Codes (CLASSFP) * H1: Identifies an active county or statistically equivalent entity that does not qualify under subclass C7 or H6. * H4: Identifies a legally defined inactive or nonfunctioning county or statistically equivalent entity that does not qualify under subclass H6. * H5: Identifies census areas in Alaska, a statistical county equivalent entity. * H6: Identifies a county or statistically equivalent entity that is coextensive in area or governmentally consolidated with an incorporated place, part of an incorporated place, or a consolidated city. * C7: Identifies an incorporated place that is an independent of any county. Functional Status Codes (FUNCSTAT) * A: Identifies an active government providing primary general-purpose functions. * B: Identifies an active government that is partially consolidated with another government but with separate officials providing primary general-purpose functions. * C: Identifies an active government consolidated with another government with a single set of officials. * F: Identifies a fictitious entity created to fill the Census Bureau's geographic hierarchy. * G: Identifies an active government that is subordinate to another unit of government. * N: Identifies a nonfunctioning legal entity. * S: Identifies a statistical entity
Postal Code (ZIP) Boundary - SCAG Region

Postal Code information in the Tele Atlas® database is captured both as an Attribute of a Transportation Element (Road Elements or Address Area Boundary Elements) and as a Postal District. A Postal District includes the boundaries of a postal area as defined by the national postal organization of a country. The Main Postal Code is the database representation of the complete postal code or the portion of the official postal code defined by the national postal organization that basically refers to an area. This geodatabase file has also joined all relevant attributes from TeleAtlas attribute tables pdnm
Variable Constrained Areas (VCAs) - SCAG Region

This is the Variable Constrained Areas (VCAs) in the SCAG Region developed for Connect SoCal, the 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). VCAs include Wildland-Urban Interface, Grazing Lands and Farmlands, 500 Year Flood Plains, CalFire Very High Severity Fire Risk, Natural Lands and Habitat Corridors..Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) – Data on areas where housing and vegetation intermingle (“intermix WUI”) and areas with housing in the vicinity of contiguous wildland vegetation (“interface WUI”) were derived from the 2010 national Wildland-Urban Interface dataset developed by the SILVIS Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison;Grazing Lands and Farmlands within Incorporated Jurisdictions – Similar to farmlands identified in unincorporated areas, grazing lands and farmland information within incorporated areas were identified through the Farmland Mapping & Monitoring Program (FMMP) in the Division of Land Resource Protection in the California Department of Conservation, which underwent review by local jurisdictions;500 Year Flood Plains – Information on flood areas were derived from the Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM), obtained from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in August 2017. The DFIRM Database is a digital version of the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) that is designed for use with digital mapping and analysis software. The FIRM is created by FEMA for the purpose of floodplain management, mitigation, and insurance activities for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and was included for local jurisdiction review through SCAG’s Bottom-Up Local Input and Envisioning Process;CalFire Very High Severity Fire Risk (state and local) – Information on areas with very high fire hazards was derived from CalFire’s state responsibility area and local responsibility area Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) data, accessed by SCAG in early 2019; andNatural Lands and Habitat Corridors – Data on habitat corridors was derived from California Essential Habitat Connectivity Project, as developed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which identifies large blocks of intact habitat or natural landscapes with connectivity corridors essential for local wildlife. This dataset benefits from feedback from a selection of federal, state, local, tribal, and non-governmental organizations throughout California, and was made publicly available in 2010.PLEASE NOTE this data is intended for planning purposes only, and SCAG shall incur no responsibility or liability as to the completeness, currentness, or accuracy of this information.
