AbstractNational Land Cover Database 2016 Percent Developed Imperviousness, produced by MRLC (Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics) Consortium. NLCD imperviousness products represent urban impervious surfaces as a percentage of developed surface over every 30-meter pixel in the United States. NLCD 2016 updates all previously released versions of impervious products for CONUS (NLCD 2001, NLCD 2006, NLCD 2011) along with a new date of impervious surface for 2016.

Full metadata are included in the nlcd16im.img.xml file located in the same path as the maintenance format file.

-- See more information.
Known errors/qualifications1. Since new 2016 versions of NLCD products for all years have now been released, the decision was made to refrain from reprojecting this dataset into the County's standard NAD83 HARN projection. Since pixels were therefore not resampled, they do now represent the exact area on the ground that the original satellite sensor collected.
