The data set provides data on the predominant land use for all parcels in the City of Cambridge as of July 1, 2019. The land use indicated reflects both existing uses and buildings currently under construction. The data behind the map is drawn from Assessing Department data and is supplemented with information taken from the Development Log and building permits issued by the Inspectional Services Department.

This table includes the results of the Primary Language Is Not English (PLINE) census of Cambridge Public School students taken in early October of every school year.

These median incomes were estimated in a two step process. Income related blockgroup data from the 2013-2017 American Community Survey was recompiled by the Cambridge Community Development Department to align with approximate neighborhood boundaries. Median values were then interpolated for each geographic area from the compiled distribution of incomes. All amounts reported in 2017 dollars.

Unshoveled/Icy Sidewalk Violations Since 12/1/2007

This dataset contains compliance status and energy and water use data gathered through the Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance (BEUDO). Property details, energy use and water use data are submitted by property owners or managers whose properties are subject to BEUDO through an online energy and water use benchmarking tool called ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. Parcel level property information is obtained from the City of Cambridge Property Database.

Energy and water use information submitted by property owners and managers is shown for properties that first began reporting in the 2015 BEUDO reporting cycle. These include nonresidential properties 50,000 square feet or more, residential properties with 50 or more units and municipal properties 10,000 square feet or more. In 2016, nonresidential properties 25,000 square feet or more began submitting reports for the first time and their data was disclosed beginning in 2017.

Please note that the “Property Type” column distinguishes reports based on whether they contain information about a single building or multiple buildings. If you are running summary statistics on this dataset, make sure to avoid duplicating data by filtering for “single” reports and “parent” reports. Child properties are buildings also included in parent reports. The “Buildings Included” column details what buildings are included in parent reports, with the first building ID indicating the parent property.

Block level data from the 1980 through 2010 decennial censuses recompiled to align with neighborhood boundaries. Include data for total population, total housing stock, and renter and owner-occupied housing.
