Mapping Challenge Update (05/05/22): City / Town Halls in Alabama
Volunteers contributed almost 50 edits since this challenge was launched; most of these edits are new points - NICE WORK! See our spatial analysis for tips on remaining communities.
The original post from April 27, 2022 has additional tips and tricks.
Remaining Communities
If you’ve been following us for a while, you may recall that Alabama was one of the earlier states to participate in a city halls challenge. You may also recall that we provided hints about remaining communities towards the end of this initial challenge. However, there are still several communities for which city/town halls have yet to be collected so we’re revisiting this state to capture any omissions.
To identify missing communities, we overlaid US Census’s Incorporated Places dataset with 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 then limited the results to communities with a population greater than 500 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!
