Abstract:

These data represent land cover change in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania over 40 years, with land cover visually interpreted from aerial imagery in 1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000. Land cover classes were tree/shrub, herbaceous, other pervious, building, and other impervious at 10,000 random points. R code for visualization of transitions and multinomial logistic regression is also included.
