Urban land, urban tree cover and urban impervious cover by conterminous United States counties from 2010 to 2060

This data publication presents percent and areal measurement (in square meters) of urban land, urban tree cover and urban impervious cover for circa 2010 and decadal projections to 2060 by conterminous United States (CONUS) counties. In particular this data set incorporates 1990 to 2010 United States Census urban land trend data and photo-interpreted adjustments to 2011 National Land Cover Database (NLCD) Tree Canopy Cover to address underestimation concerns found during analysis of NLCD Tree Canopy Cover. These data support the 2010 Resources Planning Act (RPA) Assessment cycle.The purpose of these data is to help provide projections of future natural resource conditions for analysis, management and planning. In addition, these data sets provide supporting information for several manuscripts (see below).These data were collected and analyzed to provide content for Nowak et al. (2022) and Resources Planning Act work. Please note that data are applicable only within the context and time period of this analysis and its supporting data from 1990 to 2011.
