,3D buildings. This dataset is a 3D building multipatch created using lidar point cloud bare earth points and building points to create a normalized data surface. Some areas have limited data. The lidar dataset redaction was conducted under the guidance of the United States Secret Service. All data returns were removed from the dataset within the United States Secret Service redaction boundary except for classified ground points and classified water points.,

This dataset is a categorical mapping of estimated mean building heights, by Census block group, in shapefile format for the conterminous United States. The data were derived from the NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, which collected “first return” (top of canopy and buildings) radar data at 30-m resolution in February, 2000 aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor. These data were processed here to estimate building heights nationally, and then aggregated to block group boundaries. The block groups were then categorized into six classes, ranging from “Low” to “Very High”, based on the mean and standard deviation breakpoints of the data. The data were evaluated in several ways, to include comparing them to a reference dataset of 85,000 buildings for the city of San Francisco for accuracy assessment and to provide contextual definitions for the categories.

The 2015 tile index boundaries created at a scale of 1:1200. The dataset contains polygons used to partition the DC area into delivery units for planimetric mapping projects. Boundary geometries were updated for 2015 orthophoto capture.
