New York State data tracks the annual distribution of property parcels across nine broad use classes for each municipality. The dataset, produced by the Department of Taxation and Finance, contains counts for Agricultural, Residential, Commercial, and other property types beginning with the 2000 roll year. It provides a longitudinal view of land use changes at the local government level.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in Residential Property Count versus Commercial Property Count over Roll Year to assess housing versus business development.
- Compare Vacant Land Property Count across different County Name regions to identify areas for potential development or conservation.
- Model the relationship between Total Parcel Count and specific property classes like Industrial Property Count to understand municipal economic specialization.
- Forecast future Broad Use 900 - Forest and Conservation Property Count based on historical Roll Year data to support environmental planning.
Strengths
- Covers nine distinct property class categories, enabling detailed land use analysis.
- Provides data from Roll Year 2000 onward, offering over two decades of temporal coverage.
- Includes geographic granularity with Municipality Name and County Name identifiers.
Limitations
- Unknown total row count prevents assessment of dataset completeness for all municipalities and years.
