Description: <p>Tree canopy offers many beneficial services in urban areas, but is in
decline due to associated hazards with urbanization. Many cities have
set a percent canopy goal at 40%, however this does not consider how the
canopy will be distributed. We want to understand where the urban
canopy is already situated in Cuyahoga county in terms of land use,
equity, and land cover and project uses of abundant land types such as
vacant land. This data contains the landcover and tree cover for each
parcel in Cuyahoga County as well as poverty statistics.</p>Data was
aggregated from 2019 CENSUS block group acs data to the parcel level
data on the Cuyahoga County Tree Canopy Viewer (CCGIS & CCPC 2017).
