This challenge is getting so close with over 150 points added since last week! Most of the points that remain to be collected are in New Jersey and the New York City metropolitan area. See our spatial analysis for tips on which communities these may be.

The original post from December 23, 2021 has additional tips and tricks. 

TNMCorps Mapping Challenge: A before-and-after image showing edits to city halls in NY, NJ, & PA between 02/03/22 and 02/10/22. Volunteers contributed over 150 edits during this timeframe, most of which are new points.

 

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!
