Land Area

Water Area

Land area is a measurement providing the size, in square miles, of the land portions of geographic entities for which the Census Bureau tabulates and disseminates data. Area is calculated from the specific boundary recorded for each entity in the Census Bureau's geographic database. Land area is based on current information in the TIGER® data base, calculated for use with Census 2010.

Water Area figures include inland, coastal, Great Lakes, and territorial sea water. Inland water consists of any lake, reservoir, pond, or similar body of water that is recorded in the Census Bureau's geographic database. It also includes any river, creek, canal, stream, or similar feature that is recorded in that database as a two- dimensional feature (rather than as a single line). The portions of the oceans and related large embayments (such as Chesapeake Bay and Puget Sound), the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea that belong to the United States and its territories are classified as coastal and territorial waters; the Great Lakes are treated as a separate water entity. Rivers and bays that empty into these bodies of water are treated as inland water from the point beyond which they are narrower than 1 nautical mile across. Identification of land and inland, coastal, territorial, and Great Lakes waters is for data presentation purposes only and does not necessarily reflect their legal definitions.

    2024 Connecticut Parcel and CAMA Data

    data.ct.gov | Last Updated 2024-10-14T03:04:25.000Z

    This dataset contains statewide CAMA information for the parcels in Connecticut, created by the GIS office in accordance with CGS Sec. 4d-90-92 and 7-100L. It is part of the 2024 data collection effort, which involved gathering CAMA data from all municipalities through the Council of Governments. The parcel layer is provided as a zipped folder containing a File Geodatabase, encompassing information from all 169 towns organized into a seamless parcel layer. The CAMA dataset include details about real property within Connecticut towns, which can be linked to the parcel data using a GIS software. The linking is facilitated through a designated column called ‘link’ that contains unique codes for each town and the designated values provided by the assessors and COGs. While the data was gathered from Connecticut towns and submitted to CT OPM by the COGs, it’s important to note that not all towns adhered to the established schema. As a result, some attribute names, primary and secondary keys, naming conventions, and file formats were inconsistent. Cleaning and reorganization were performed to align the data with the state schema, though some limitations remain. This file was generated on 09/28/2024 from data collected throughout 2024. Additional Note: Some towns were unable to verify which entries were suppressed pursuant to Connecticut General Statute Sec. 1-217. As a result, all related information has been fully suppressed. The owner and co-owner fields have been replaced with "Current Owner" and "Current Co-Owner," respectively, and the mailing address has been updated to reflect the location address.
