Abstract:
This data publication presents percent and areal measurement (in square meters) of urban land, urban tree cover and urban impervious cover for circa 2010 and decadal projections to 2060 by conterminous United States (CONUS) counties. In particular this data set incorporates 1990 to 2010 United States Census urban land trend data and photo-interpreted adjustments to 2011 National Land Cover Database (NLCD) Tree Canopy Cover to address underestimation concerns found during analysis of NLCD Tree Canopy Cover. These data support the 2010 Resources Planning Act (RPA) Assessment cycle.
