Cracking an Open Safe: Extracting HAZUS’s Building Inventory to a Single Table

Washington Results

This zip file contains 3 estimated building inventory tables: one each at the census tract, county, and state level. Each table contains, by geographic area, occupancy class, structure type, and design level, the total square footage (1000s of sf), building value ($1000s in 2003), content value ($1000s in 2003), number of occupants at 2 PM, number of occupants at 2 AM, and number of occupants at 5 PM. The inventory is based on the HAZUS-MH MR3 normalized default inventory tables, but denormalized from 15 related tables into a single table for each geographic aggregation level (tract, county, or state). A draft manuscript entitled Cracking an Open Safe: Extracting HAZUS’s Building Inventory to a Single Table, also available here, explains the methodology. Each file is comma-and-quote delimited, with column headers in the 1st row for ease of reading.
