Municipal Boundaries for NJ, PA, DE, and MD

Municipal boundaries for Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia with ortho-rectified municipal boundaries for the DVRPC Region. Municipal Boundaries have been edited by DVRPC to create a more accurate, seemless regional dataset for the DVRPC region and its surrounding area. This dataset was compiled from multiple sources. Original data sources (in order of drawing rank): DVRPC - for Mercer, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester counties in NJ (an adaptation of NJOIT's Mun Bounds) and Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Chester, and Delaware counties in PA. In most cases, boundaries have been adjusted to align with parcel data. NJOIT - remaining NJ counties (2008) PennDOT - remaining PA counties (2009) DE State Office of Mgmt & Budget - Delaware municipalities (2002) MD State Hwy Administration - Maryland municipalities (2003) Washington DC - ESRI NOTE: NJ's coast has been clipped or unioned to ESRI's data CD detailed state boundaryDue to a consolidation, Princeton Twp and Princeton Boro in Mercer County, NJ in 2013, the new municipality (named "Princeton"), uses Princeton Boro's unique ID 3402160900. Princeton Township's unique ID (3402160915)no longer exists.Due to the name change from Washington Twp to Robbinsville Twp in Mercer County NJ in 2008, the unique ID (GEOID) for this municipality has changed from 3402177210 to 3402163850 . However, if you download 2000 census data from the Bureau's website, the unique ID (GEOID) for Robbinsville Township will still be 3402177210 in the census data…you will have to manually change its GEOID to 3402163850 in order to get the 2000 data to join to the MCD file correctly.Due to name change from Birmingham Twp to Chadds Ford Twp in Delaware County, PA in 1997, the unique ID (GEOID) for this municipality has changed from 4204506552 to 4204512442.
