This project provides geographic data on Alabama, adapted from the US Census Bureau. Land and water area are given in square miles.
The map below shows the state of Alabama. The red dot is the census-designated central point while the blue dot is the capital, Montgomery.
Our data are displayed in the form of interactive maps and interactive tables. The maps generally have point or area layers that can be added or removed with the layer control on the map. The user can zoom in and out of a map and move about in the usual way. Zooming in reveals additional features such as small towns and then streets and roads. A click on the home button returns the map to its origional location and scale. The zoom-to-area button allows the user to zoom to a selected rectangular area of the map. Clicking on an object in a layer shows summary data for that object.
The interactive tables can be sorted by any field, by clicking on the header for that field. The buttons at the top allow the table data to be copied to the clipboard, in tab-separated text format, printed, or downloaded in various formats (tab-separated text, Excel, or PDF). With the search bar, the table can be filtered according to a text string.
In the interactive tables you can click on a row to select an object (community, county, PCSA) and see the object highlighted in the map. You can select as many rows as you wish. Click on a selected row again to de-select and remove the highlighting in the map.
The information and data presented in this project are provided as a service to the educational and healthcare communities. Although care was taken in gathering the data at the time of posting, no warranties are expressed or implied as to the correctness or usefulness of the material. Moreover, the project should be viewed as a snapshot in time. Inevitably, the further from the time of posting the less accurate the data will be. Google's Gemini AI was used to generate some of the summary information.
