Abstract

Enterprise Zone. The dataset polygons represent locations and attributes of the DC Enterprise Zone, which is a subset of the census tracts, created as part of the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) and participating D.C. government agencies. This data set has polygons for both low level (10%-20% poverty level) and high-level (over 20% poverty level) zones.

Census tracts were identified from public records (US Census Bureau and DC Office of Planning) and initially created selecting street arcs from the WGIS planimetric Street centerlines and, where necessary, heads-up digitized from the 1995/1999 orthophotographs.

All DC GIS data is stored and exported in Maryland State Plane coordinates NAD 83 meters.
