NPScape housing density data sets for the conterminous U.S.: web links to map services and downloadable data. There are three map service data sets: housing density projections for 1970, 2010 and 2050. Downloadable geodatabase includes housing density projections for each decade from 1970-2100. Projections are based on the Spatially Explicit Growth Model (SERGom) (reference: Theobald, D. 2005. Landscape patterns of exurban growth in the USA from 1980 to 2020. Ecology and Society 10(1): 32.
