U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development data showing the planning areas for winners of the Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant competition for fiscal years 2010 and 2011. The map layer displays geographies assembled primarily from county, MSA, and MPO shapefiles, with some from municipal and tribal boundary data. The dataset was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

• Studying the composition of applicant geographies, which likely include counties, MSAs, and MPO areas.

Strengths

• Data originates from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, an authoritative source.
• Geographies are assembled from established public sources like county, MSA, and MPO shapefiles.
• Covers a specific program timeframe for fiscal years 2010 and 2011.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
