Research and evaluate data sets

[rgreinho]

Research and evaluate data sets that can be helpful to this endeavor.

This is a meta issue listing the potential sources.

Current Behavior

We do not have any data to build our case.

Expected Behavior

The data sets should provide information about:

• The type of building (SF, n-plex, mid-rise, high-rise, etc.)
• The area covered by the building (or a way to compute it)
• The land area
• The number of people living in the building (or a way to compute/approximate it)
• The zip code

Possible Solution

Even if all the information is not contained into a single data set, the information may still be valuable to help us build our own data set.

Conclusion

Once we decide there is no more data sets to evaluate, we must provide our conclusion, either stating why we are blocked or providing some details explaining how to go further with the process.

Other potential sources to check:

• Openstreetmaps has the areas
• TCAD has the type and zipcode
• The watershed protection mayhave an impervious cover interactive GIS map
