Mapping Challenge Update (02/03/22): City / Town Halls in NY, NJ & PA
Volunteers contributed almost 100 edits towards this challenge, most of which are new points! NICE WORK!! However, there are still many communities in New Jersey and the New York City / Long Island vicinity that have yet to be collected. See the results of our spatial analysis for tips on remaining communities.
The original post from December 23, 2021 has additional tips and tricks.
Remaining Communities
We compared US Census’s Incorporated Places dataset and all the city / town hall features collected to date. The results help us identify communities that do not yet have a city / town hall point within their corporate boundaries. We’ve limited the results to communities with a population greater than 1,000 since larger communities are more likely to have their own designated city hall. The map below highlights communities that may still need to have a city / town hall point collected.
NOTE that this does not mean every one of these communities is missing a point. It is possible that some of these communities do not have a building that fits our definition of a city / town hall while others may have already been collected but their city / town hall falls outside their corporate boundary.
Please help us research these communities and determine if a city / town hall exists!
