Place Type describes what data source defined the place as a population center. "City/Town" represents incorporated cities and towns, "Urban Growth Area" represents designated growth management boundaries outside of incorporated city limits, and "Census Designated Place" represents unincorporated places.

"Census Designated Places (2020)" data obtained from the Washington State Department of Financial Management who derived it from the Census 2020 TIGER/Line files. Incorporated (city/town) geography derived from the Washington State Department of Transportation's geospatial dataset: "City Limits of Washington State, 2023." "Washington State City Urban Growth Areas" data collected from Washington's 39 counties and published by the Washington State Department of Ecology and the Office of the Chief Information Officer-Geospatial Program, last updated in May 2023.

The WSDOT Population Center dataset combines the WSDOT Incorporated City Limits dataset (May 2021) with the Office of Financial Management’s Census Designated Places (2020 Census) Dataset. Identification of Population Centers enables WSDOT to address the Complete Streets requirement under </SPAN><A href="https://app.leg.wa.gov:443/RCW/default.aspx?cite=47.04.035" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>RCW 47.04.035</SPAN></A><SPAN> and to otherwise identify locations prioritized in the 2021 WSDOT Active Transportation Plan (ATP). WSDOT may also recognize other developed areas as exhibiting land use patterns consistent with the definition of population center, that are not currently captured by this data layer.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>This data layer assists WSDOT in prioritizing active transportation improvements in areas where people congregate and access destinations, and where travel distances between destinations align with typical distances travelled by users of pedestrian and bicycle modes. These areas are a priority because they serve the broadest range of users and potential users of the transportation system, including the very young, very old, and people with disabilities. In this dataset, each Population Center includes information for the “Place Name”, the “Place Type” (city/town, Urban Growth Area outside of city limits, or Census Designated Place), and whether or not the Population Center intersects a State Route (“yes” indicates that there is an intersection with a State Route, “no” indicates that there is no intersection.). The dataset will be updated as needed. Please direct questions about the Population Centers dataset to: </SPAN><A href="mailto:Grace.Young@wsdot.wa.gov:25" STYLE="text-decoration:underline;"><SPAN>Grace.Young@wsdot.wa.gov</SPAN></A><SPAN>.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
To aid in the implementation of the Complete Streets requirement and prioritization of active transportation improvements in areas where people congregate and access destinations, and where travel distances between destinations align with typical distances travelled by users of pedestrian and bicycle modes.

The OnHighwayNetwork attribute was calcualted to = "Yes" if the any portion of the Population Centers geometry intersected any portion of State Routes of Washington State 1:24,000, Increasing Direction (WSDOT 2020) or State Routes of Washington State 1:24,000, Decreasing Direction (WSDOT 2020) spatial datasets. All geometries that did not intersect a mainline portion of the State Highway System were calculated to = "No". State Highway Ramps were not included in the calculation.
