This feature layer depicts land use within northeastern Illinois broken out into 57 categories. This dataset is an update of the 2020 parcel-based Land Use Inventory and the primary focus was on parcels whose assessment records or geometry had changed between 2020 and 2023, suggesting a change in land use. Download the data from the CMAP Data Hub. Supporting metadata and documentation is also available: Classification schema provides a full description of all land use categories. Geodatabase schema provides a description of attributes and domains. Symbology crosswalk provides a machine-readable table to easily recreate symbology. More information can be found on CMAP's Land Use Inventory webpage . How can it be used? What projects use this data? Land Use data can be used for forecasting, land use and transportation modeling, existing conditions reports and general research. Who created this data? How and when? Data was created by CMAP staff, updating the previous 2020 inventory using Spring 2023 aerial photography as the base, supplemented by County Assessor files and other data. Where can I find the latest data? How frequently is it updated? Land Use Inventory files are considered final upon publication. New Land Use Inventories are produced every 3 to 5 years. They may be updated as necessary to correct data flaws, and the original files replaced. Questions?
