Datasets
-
The primary area of interest is
defined by the boundaries provided
through the OpenStreetMap (OSM)
extraction, with detailed shapefiles
and PBF formats available for
download. Teams are allowed to use
only these boundaries and this
specific version of OSM data.

- Geography: The “Zone_ID” field for zones in Georgia corresponds to Census Block Groups, each identified by a unique 12-digit FIPS code. To match these “Zone_ID” values with their respective geographic boundaries, please use the TIGER polygon shapefiles available through the U.S. Census Bureau: https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles/index.php Please select the 2019 Georgia Block Group shapefile from the provided link. This shapefile will enable you to associate each Zone_ID with its corresponding geographic area.
