California State Property Inventory of Land and Structures

State of California's Statewide Property Inventory, established by legislative mandate in 1988, captures detailed information on land and structures owned or leased by the state. The inventory, updated annually by agencies, includes data on state-owned and leased land, state-owned and leased structures, and property leased by the state to the private sector.

Use Cases

• Analyze the distribution of state-owned land and structures across California for asset management planning.
• Track the portfolio of property leased by the state to the private sector to monitor revenue and utilization.
• Assess the geographic footprint of state-leased structures using provided KML and GEOJSON spatial formats for mapping.
• Support capital planning decisions by inventorying the state's real property assets in a computerized format as mandated.

Strengths

• Inventory is mandated by state legislation, ensuring a systematic and official data collection process.
• Data is updated annually by contributing state agencies, supporting regular maintenance.
• Available in multiple formats including CSV for tabular analysis and KML/GEOJSON for geographic visualization.

Limitations

• The specific number of records (rows) and data fields (columns) is not provided, limiting assessment of scale and granularity.
• Historical data may have inconsistencies, as leases were only added to the inventory by executive order in 2004.
