This dataset contains predictions of whether temperature inversions will occur at locations in Allegheny County. This dataset is still under active development and should be considered to be in "beta". Motivation Temperature inversions occur when there is a warmer layer of air above the air at or near ground level....

This data is harvested daily from the Goddard Earth Observing System composition forecast (GEOS-CF). We are obtaining predictions for the next five days (at hourly intervals) for three air-quality parameters: carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and fine particulate matter (PM2.5). This dataset is still...

This dataset contains lists of various kinds of assets (open prior to or as of March 1, 2020), derived from a variety of local, state, and federal data sources. Some of this data still needs to be verified, as this is a work in progress. Some geocoding is either missing or incorrect. Improvements are pending. This...

Weekly archive of some State of Pennsylvania datasets found in this list: https://data.pa.gov/browse?q=vaccinations For most of these datasets, the "date_saved" field is the date that the WPRDC pulled the data from the state data portal and the archive combines all the saved records into one table. The exception to...

From NASA's Cooperative Open Online Landslide Repository (COOLR). The Cooperative Open Online Landslide Repository (COOLR) is a worldwide database of landslide events.

Data about the usage of the WPRDC site and its various datasets, obtained by combining Google Analytics statistics with information from the WPRDC's data portal. This data is no longer updating, as we've stopped using Google Analytics, but we plan to add a table here with statistics from our new solution for...

Lenten Fish Fry records for the Greater Pittsburgh region. Data is collected before and during the Lenten fish fry season each year by Code for Pittsburgh. Data is sourced from news outlets, social media, and public requests.

Data used to link profiles with data in the data center.

These datasets are clones of popular WPRDC datasets from various publishers that have been reverse-geocoded to add geographic identifiers (e.g., municipality and neighborhood). Follow the links in the file descriptions for more information on the original datasets. If you get a timeout error when trying to download...

As the situation is changing quickly, we're just listing here some links to local and statewide information pertaining to the COVID-19 epidemic. Support for Health Equity datasets and tools provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) through their Health Equity Initiative.

Parcel centroids in Allegheny County. Centroids created by the Western PA Regional Data Center using County parcel shapes found on PASDA or WPRDC. Centroids have been drawn within the parcel boundary in most cases. The Data Center also appended a number of geographic codes to the data, including 2010 Census Blocks,...

We often create dioramas from LEGO bricks for use with our presentations, blogs, and social media posts. We find it's much more fun and effective to reenact meetings and other scenes than to try and use real-life images. It also saves us from the hassle of worrying about receiving permission to use a person's photo...
