GIS Lookup: Detailed Data Layer Listing

Title: "HAZUS: County Location Factor (Means)" (2005)
 
Description: This data set was used to develop the building valuation for each HAZUS specific occupancy. The name of the table is in reference to the RS Means Location Factors In the Square Foot Costs book that were applied to only the major metropolitan areas rather than every county as available in the document. ABS averaged the commercial and residential factors from the table as displayed for the user. All data was developed at the census block level for the United States in the fifty states, the District of Columbia, and the territories. ABSG developed this data from the 2002 RS Means Square Foot Costs to all occupancies.
