Global Change Impacts & Adaptation ICLUS Data for Midwest Region
ICLUS data made available to the Regional groups of the National
Climate Assessment consists of population and housing density.
Population data are based on the 2000 U.S. Census and use
fertility rates from the Census Bureau to project population to
2100 in 5-year time steps for each county in the conterminous
United States. By using high and low fertility rates, scenarios
are consistent with A2 and B1 scenarios, respectively. The
population data are used as inputs to a spatial allocation
model, which produces maps of housing density. These data are
classified into four categories of urban, suburban, exurban, and
rural. The resolution of these data is 1 hectare. Datasets
available here cover the Midwest region. All data are compatible
with standard Geographic Information Systems (GIS). |Dataset to
