Description: 2020 Census ZCTAs (ZIP Code Tabulation Areas); data users should not use ZCTAs to identify the official USPS ZIP Code for mail delivery. The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) are approximate area representations of U.S. Postal Service (USPS) ZIP Code service areas that the Census Bureau creates to present statistical data for each decennial census. The Census Bureau delineates ZCTA boundaries for the United States, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands once each decade following the decennial census. Data users should not use ZCTAs to identify the official USPS ZIP Code for mail delivery. The USPS makes periodic changes to ZIP Codes to support more efficient mail delivery. The Census Bureau uses tabulation blocks as the basis for defining each ZCTA. Tabulation blocks are assigned to a ZCTA based on the most frequently occurring ZIP Code for the addresses contained within that block. The most frequently occurring ZIP Code also becomes the five-digit numeric code of the ZCTA. These codes may contain leading zeros. Blocks that do not contain addresses but are surrounded by a single ZCTA (enclaves) are assigned to the surrounding ZCTA. Because the Census Bureau only uses the most frequently occurring ZIP Code to assign blocks, a ZCTA may not exist for every USPS ZIP Code. Some ZIP Codes may not have a matching ZCTA because too few addresses were associated with the specific ZIP Code or the ZIP Code was not the most frequently occurring ZIP Code within any of the blocks where it exists. The ZCTA boundaries in this release are those delineated following the 2020 Census.
Description: Vermont General Assembly is periodically re-apportioned to reflect the state's changing population patterns. The current apportionment process is guided by Title 17, Chapter 34A of the Vermont Statutes Annotated. The Legislative Apportionment Board, an appointed body, proposes a draft apportionment plan. The General Assembly may refer to this plan in its enactment of legislative apportionment for the ensuing decade. The HOUSE district boundaries for this layer were downloaded from the 2022 House of Representatives Reapportionment – Final Districts (H.722) web page (https://legislature.vermont.gov/reports-and-research/research/reapportionment/2022-house-of-representatives-reapportionment/phase-ii/). H.722 was the final bill passed by the House and Senate that defined new House district boundaries; it was signed by the Governor on April 6, 2022.

Name: Voting Tabulation Areas per Decennial Redistricting 2012
Display Field: NAME
Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon
Description: This layer represents the smallest voting tabulation area. In some cases, the geographic extent is a municipality, in other cases it is a section of a municipality. Many of the polygons in this layer represent PART of a state House district (the House District is the unit to which votes are tabulated to actually determine the winner of an election, and many of them are multi-town). An inherent problem in creating this layer was the lack of spatial congruence between the HOUS2012 layer and the TWNBNDS layer. Although in many cases parts of the HOUS2012 layer purport to follow town boundaries (according to the statute where they are verbally described) the data layer that was used to create the data was not the TWNBNDS layer, but likely a Census Tiger Files layer. This Voting Tabulation layer was created using aspects of the two existing layers: Town Boundaries from the TWNBNDS layer, whereas any boundaries that split towns were derived from the HOUS2012 layer. The Process Steps section below describes how this was achieved, and how district labels were assigned to new polygons.
