OUTFALLS

View [metadata] for key information about this dataset. This data contains locations of Philadelphia Water Department Utility Assets. Its accuracy varies by location. Most of the data is accurate to +/- 1 ft based on the Construction As-Built Drawings it was digitized from. Some areas such as the Philadelphia Naval Business District (Navy Yard) or the Airport are not nearly as accurate, as they were derived from other sources. These sources include but are not limited to: old navy construction documents, field surveys, various conflicting maps both digital and paper. The data took three years to create and it is maintained daily by PWD GIS UNIT. The new maintenance edits are of higher spatial accuracy as GPS equipment is available for field surveys.

Zipcodes_Arc

View [metadata] for key information about this dataset. Zip Code Tabulation Areas were developed by the US Census Bureau to overcome difficulties in precisely defining the land area covered by each Zip Code. The ZCTAs are generalized area representation of the USPS Zip code service areas, but are not the same as Zip codes. There is no correlation between ZIP codes and Census Bureau geography. In addition, the USPS frequently realigns, merges or splits ZIP codes to meet changing needs. ZCTAs are constructed by aggregating the Census 2000 blocks whose addresses use a given ZIP code. The census bureau took the ZIP code used by the majority of addresses in each census unit at the time the data was compiled. As a result, some addresses end up with a ZCTA code that is different from their ZIP code. The Zip code arc layer has an accompanying [polygon layer]. For questions about this dataset, contact [max.steinbrenner@phila.gov]. For technical assistance, email [maps@phila.gov].
Leaf_Collection_Areas_Arc

View [metadata] for key information about this dataset. The arc layer contains street name attributes for labeling the outside of the polygons.

Health_Chi_Takeout

View [metadata] for key information about this dataset. The Philadelphia Healthy Chinese Take-out Initiative worked to prevent and control high blood pressure in Philadelphia residents by 1) reducing the sodium content in Chinese take-out dishes by 10-15% and 2) decreasing access to tobacco products. The initiative is a joint effort among Temple University’s Center for Asian Health, the Asian Community Health Coalition, the Philadelphia Chinese Restaurant Association, and the Philadelphia Department of Public Health. Excess consumption of sodium (salt) and tobacco use are two major contributors to hypertension, heart disease and stroke. Chinese take-out restaurant dishes can have large amounts of sodium mainly due to the sauces used in preparation and cooking. And Chinese take-out restaurants tend to have higher rates of illegal tobacco sales to minors than other retailers. To date, 200 Chinese take-out restaurants have enrolled in the initiative, participated in a low-sodium healthy cooking training with a professional chef, and received education about complying with the Tobacco Youth Sales Law.
