Iowa Aging Services Consumer Counts by Fiscal Year, Age Group, and Service
mydata.iowa.gov | Last Updated 2024-01-31T14:24:53.000ZData provides consumer counts for services provided to aging citizens of Iowa funded through federal and state programs starting in 2009 and is updated annually. It includes self-reported demographic information for services provided by age group, gender, live alone status, rural status, poverty status, racial identity, and ethnicity (per U.S. Census definitions). Counts include only those individuals who provided a response on intake. Intakes are completed on service initiation and annually thereafter. Unduplicated counts are by service; an individual may have received more than one service.

MTA Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Data
opendata.maryland.gov | Last Updated 2024-03-25T15:38:10.000Z*** DISCLAIMER - This web page is a public resource of general information. The Maryland Mass Transit Administration (MTA) makes no warranty, representation, or guarantee as to the content, sequence, accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of any of the spatial data or database information provided herein. MTA and partner state, local, and other agencies shall assume no liability for errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in the information provided regardless of how caused; or any decision made or action taken or not taken by any person relying on any information or data furnished within. *** This dataset assesses rail station potential for different forms of transit oriented development (TOD). A key driver of increased transit ridership in Maryland, TOD capitalizes on existing rapid transit infrastructure. The online tool focuses on the MTA’s existing MARC Commuter Rail, Metro Subway, and Central Light Rail lines and includes information specific to each station. The goal of this dataset is to give MTA planning staff, developers, local governments, and transit riders a picture of how each MTA rail station could attract TOD investment. In order to make this assessment, MTA staff gathered data on characteristics that are likely to influence TOD potential. The station-specific data is organized into 6 different categories referring to transit activity; station facilities; parking provision and utilization; bicycle and pedestrian access; and local zoning and land availability around each station. As a publicly shared resource, this dataset can be used by local communities to identify and prioritize area improvements in coordination with the MTA that can help attract investment around rail stations. You can view an interactive version of this dataset at geodata.md.gov/tod. ** Ridership is calculated the following ways: Metro Rail ridership is based on Metro gate exit counts. Light Rail ridership is estimated using a statistical sampling process in line with FTA established guidelines, and approved by the FTA. MARC ridership is calculated using two (2) independent methods: Monthly Line level ridership is estimated using a statistical sampling process in line with FTA established guidelines, and approved by the FTA. This method of ridership calculation is used by the MTA for official reporting purposes to State level and Federal level reporting. Station level ridership is estimated by using person counts completed by the third party vendor. This method of calculation has not been verified by the FTA for statistical reporting and is used for scheduling purposes only. However, because of the granularity of detail, this information is useful for TOD applications. *Please note that the monthly level ridership and the station level ridership are calculated using two (2) independent methods that are not interchangeable and should not be compared for analysis purposes.

This analysis in particular focuses on equity factors across the City of Grand Rapids along with geographic representation across different wards. The analysis is broken into two components:Demographic Need– This set of factors reflects equity and need considerations based on demographic characteristics and adjusted based on the overall population density of each census block.Connection Opportunity– Factors reflect desired destinations and areas of opportunity based on a spectrum of data inputs – including gaps in existing physical facilities and infrastructure, jobs, and transit connectivity.APPROACHEach of the analysis factors are aggregated into the 2010 census block level. The source for each factor and methods of aggregation are described below in the DATA LAYERS section.Each factor was generalized into a 1-5 score based on a quantile distribution (20% increments in values across the scores) unless otherwise noted below.Factors within each analysis component (Demographic Need and Connectivity Opportunity) were combined with equal weighting (calculation of mean score) to generate a component score. The Demographic Need score was filtered based on the census block's population density score such that less dense census blocks would receive a lower score relative to denser census blocks with the same Demographic need score. The following formulas were used for calculating these scores:Demographic Need: (([MedIncS] + [Ov65DenS] + [HHPovS] + [HHDisabS] + [NoWhiteS] + [Youth18S])/6)/(6- [PopDensS])Connection Opportunity: ([CommDenS]+ [JobDenS]+[ParkAccS]+[TransitS]+ [BikeConS]+ [BPCrashS]+ [TreeCanS]+ [SidewalkS])/8The two component scores were each normalized into a 1-5 score based on a quantile distribution.The resulting component scores were combined into an overall score for each Census Block by adding the two values together, resulting in a 2-10 score range for each Census block. Data DescriptionDemographic NeedThese factors relate to areas of the city where there may be a heightened need for projects to occur in order to support neighborhood stability, and address equity considerations.The data for the Demographic Need component was taken directly from Census 2010 and American Community Survey (ACS) data from 2015.
