Jefferson County KY Buildings With Building Heights - 2016

The Buildings (BG) layer consists of photogrammetrically interpreted polygons representing roof outlines of manmade structures in Jefferson County, Kentucky in Spring of 2016. A building is a manmade structure which may be habitable by human beings, animals or which stores materials and is at a minimum 10' x 10' in roof surface area. A building may house a variety of activities at one time, or sequentially over its life. A building may also sit vacant, be in a partial state of destruction, or construction. A feature classified as building but not having a roof (silo, tank or water tower) will show outline of the features shape. View detailed metadata.

Information on Building Height Attributes:

Minimum Height – Feet: Minimum Height Feet calculated from Z_Max height (feet)
Maximum Height – Feet: Maximum Height Meters calculated from Z_Max height (feet)
Average Height – Feet: Average Height Feet calculated from Z_Max height (feet)
SArea or Surface_Area: 3D surface area for the region defined by each polygon.
Min_Slope: Slope value closest to zero within the area defined by the polygon.
Max_Slope: Highest slope value along the line or within the area defined by the polygon.
Avg_slope - Average slope value within the area defined by the polygon.
Maximum Height Meters - Max Height Meters calculated from Z_Max height (feet)
