Visualizing Fatal Crash Patterns with Calendar Heat Charts in Map Viewer
Understanding when events happen can be just as important as knowing where. With the introduction of calendar heat charts in ArcGIS Online Map Viewer, it’s now easier than ever to uncover temporal patterns hidden within large datasets. In this blog article, we’ll explore how to use calendar heat charts to analyze fatal vehicle crashes across the United States using the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) from ArcGIS Living Atlas. Why calendar heat charts?
How Data Centers and AI Are Shaping the Future of U.S. Electricity Rates: Insights from New ArcGIS Living Atlas Layer
ArcGIS Blog The demand for electricity has been steadily rising across the United States, driven in part by the surge in data center operations and the growth of AI technologies. With this rise in electricity demands, there are increasing concerns about the impact on electricity cost for households and small businesses as a rapid demand growth of electricity is felt by utility companies.
Fatality Analysis Reporting System in Living Atlas
Understanding where and how fatal motor vehicle crashes occur is crucial to making roads safer, informing public policy, and supporting transportation planning. A new feature layer sourced from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) is now available in ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World, providing data on motor vehicle fatal crashes from 2019 through 2023, across the United States.
FCC Broadband Data Collection - June 2024 Update in ArcGIS Living Atlas
The June 2024 Broadband Data Collection (BDC) is now available within ArcGIS Living Atlas. This ready-to-use layer shows fixed broadband availability for every Census Block and H3 Resolution-8 hexagonal area in the U.S. and outlying territories. The layer summarizes the June 2024 BDC data showing the number of served, underserved, and unserved Broadband Serviceable Locations (BSLs) in total and by transmission technology for a given geography.
FCC Broadband Data Collection - December 2023 Update in ArcGIS Living Atlas
The December 2023 Broadband Data Collection (BDC) is now available within ArcGIS Living Atlas. This ready-to-use layer shows fixed broadband availability for every Census Block and H3 Resolution-8 hexagonal area in the U.S. and outlying territories. The layer summarizes the December 2023 BDC data showing the number of served, underserved, and unserved Broadband Serviceable Locations (BSLs) by transmission technology in a given geography.
Highway Performance Monitoring System layer now available in ArcGIS Living Atlas
At the core of any effective transportation policy is reliable data and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is responsible for assuring that adequate highway transportation data and systems performance information is available via the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) program. HPMS is a national-level data collection program designed to assess the condition, performance, and usage of the United States’ roadways.
Tracking the adoption of electric vehicles in the U.S.
The transportation sector is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, producing slightly more GHG than electricity generation and industrial activities, and more than residential, commercial, and agriculture activities combined. Climate experts point to collective action as a way to fight climate change—action such as personal use of an electric vehicle (EV). Driving an EV is an individual decision that, when reproduced on a mass scale, would reduce GHG emissions.
U.S. Census American Community Survey (ACS) Updated in ArcGIS Living Atlas (December 2023)
The 2018-2022 American Community Survey (ACS) five-year estimates are now available within ArcGIS Living Atlas. These ready-to-use layers empower people to instantly begin to explore, map, analyze, and download the data at state, county, and tract levels. Having these layers in ArcGIS Living Atlas for free saves GIS users many hours or even days of download and data processing time.
Alternative Fuel Stations Live Feeds Now Available in ArcGIS Living Atlas
As we work towards a greener, more environmentally sustainable world, tackling one of the largest sectors of Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, transportation, is no easy task. In the U.S., the transportation sector generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions at 27%. Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation primarily come from burning fossil fuel for our cars, trucks, ships, trains, and planes.
New County Health Rankings Data in ArcGIS Living Atlas
The County Health Rankings and Roadmaps (CHR&R), a program of the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute with support provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, measures the health of nearly all counties in the nation and rank them within states. The Rankings are compiled using county-level measures from a variety of national and state data sources. Counties are ranked within their state on both health outcomes and health factors.
Census redistricting data and maps available in ArcGIS Living Atlas
It’s redistricting time. It’s a time to realign congressional districts based on how the population has changed in the previous decade. For example, Texas gained two seats in the House of Representatives since that state’s population grew faster than the nation as a whole, whereas West Virginia actually lost population, and lost a seat. It’s not that simple though. California lost a seat too.
