Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Parking Lots dataset include?

Vector polygons of paved parking areas, with a minimum mapped lot of about 1,000 square feet.

What is the source and how often is it updated?

It is derived from 60cm aerial imagery. Quarterly releases bring model improvements and any newly available imagery. New imagery reaches about half the states each year, and the full national dataset is refreshed every two years, so a quarterly release does not mean every location gets new imagery that quarter.

Can I get more frequent updates?

Yes. For smaller areas, such as cities, we can update Parking Lots annually or every six months using commercial satellite imagery. Larger areas, such as counties, may also be feasible depending on budget. Satellite imagery and processing involve additional costs beyond standard licensing. We can also use customer-provided imagery, subject to compatibility testing. Contact us for pricing and availability.

What is it used for?

EV-charging and site-selection studies, impervious-surface and stormwater analysis, and retail and real-estate planning.
