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.

    Enhancing Microsimulation Models for Improved Work Zone Planning: Car-Following Data from Western Massachusetts (Instances)

    datahub.transportation.gov | Last Updated 2024-05-01T01:04:01.000Z

    The data describe freeway car-following behavior (such as velocity, acceleration, and relative position) for the car-following instances observed during 6 data collection runs, collected using an Instrumented Research Vehicle (IRV) along freeways and arterials in western Massachusetts in the summer of 2016 to better understand work zone driver behaviors. The USDOT Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) identified, isolated, and classified individual car following instances from within the raw datasets (classification parameters included roadway type, level of congestion, and speed limit), then processed, refined, and cleaned the dataset. This table contains the car-following instances recorded by Volpe staff. See also the runs table (https://datahub.transportation.gov/Automobiles/Enhancing-Microsimulation-Models-for-Improved-Work/b3k6-qwyh) and radar table (https://datahub.transportation.gov/Automobiles/Enhancing-Microsimulation-Models-for-Improved-Work/4qbx-egtn).

These data come from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's weekly report on vaccine doses administered by municipality. The report is released on Thursdays. This open dataset includes data going back several weeks and complements another open dataset called "Cambridge Vaccine Demographics," which shows data for the latest week (https://data.cambridgema.gov/Public-Health/Cambridge-Vaccination-Demographics/66td-u88k) The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines require two doses administered at least 28 days apart in order to be fully vaccinated.

The category "Residents Who Received at Least One Dose" reflects the total number of individuals in the fully and partially vaccinated categories. That is, this category comprises individuals who have received one or both doses of the Moderna/Pfizer vaccine or have received the single dose J&J (Janssen) vaccine. The category "Fully Vaccinated Residents" comprises individuals who have received both doses of the Moderna/ Pfizer vaccine or the single-dose J&J vaccine. The category "Partially Vaccinated Residents" comprises individuals who have received only the first dose of the Moderna/Pfizer vaccine. Source: Weekly COVID-19 Municipality Vaccination Report. Massachusetts releases updated data each Thursday at 5 p.m.
