Portal 2 Codes

[Autumn Pitz]

TheBuilding Energy Codes Program (BECP) tracks energy codes at the state level and provides state specific energy code resources, such as fact sheets, cost-effectiveness analyses, compliance reports, and primary contact information. To make this information readily available, we developed a Residential and Commercial State Energy Code Portal that provides these state resources in one place. Simply click the Residential and Commercial status maps below to access the state portals. Once at the portal, click on the state of interest to access the BECP state page and other relevant state resources.

One of the many challenges that social science researchers and practitioners face is the difficulty of relating United States Postal Service (USPS) ZIP codes to Census Bureau geographies. There are valuable data available only at the ZIP code level that, when combined with demographic data tabulated at various Census geography levels, could open up new avenues of exploration.

While some acceptable methods of combining ZIP codes and Census geography exist, they have limitations. To provide additional avenues for merging these data, PD&R has released the HUD-USPS Crosswalk Files. These unique files are derived from data in the quarterly USPS Vacancy Data. They originate directly from the USPS; are updated quarterly, making them highly responsive to changes in ZIP code configurations; and reflect the locations of both business and residential addresses. The latter feature is of particular interest to housing researchers because many of the phenomena that they study are based on housing unit or address. By using an allocation method based on residential addresses rather than by area or by population, analysts can take into account not only the spatial distribution of population, but also the spatial distribution of residences. This enables a slightly more nuanced approach to allocating data between disparate geographies. Please note that the USPS Vacancy Data is constructed from ZIP+4 data that contains records of addresses, it does not contain ZIP+4 data that are associated with ZIP codes that exclusively serve Postal Office Boxes (PO Boxes). As a result, ZIP codes that only serve PO Boxes will not appear in the files.

Though often used for mapping, spatial analysis, and data aggregation careful attention is required when interpreting ZIP Code data relative to other administrative geographies. The following article demonstrates how to more effectively use the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) United States Postal Service ZIP Code Crosswalk Files when working with disparate geographies.

This article demonstrates how to use a GIS to process ZIP Code Crosswalk Files. In this article, calls for service from New York City's Open Data Portal are estimated at the county-level and census tract-level. This article also includes an accuracy analysis.

When a ZIP is split by any of the other geographies, that ZIP code is duplicated in the crosswalk file. In the example below, ZIP code 03870 is split by two different Census tracts, 33015066000 and 33015071000, which appear in the tract column. The ratio of residential addresses in the first ZIP-Tract record to the total number of residential addresses in the ZIP code is .0042 (.42%). The remaining residential addresses in that ZIP (99.58%) fall into the second ZIP-Tract record. So, for example, if one wanted to allocate data from ZIP code 03870 to each Census tract located in that ZIP code, one would multiply the number of observations in the ZIP code by the residential ratio for each tract associated with that ZIP code. Note that the sum of each ratio column for each distinct ZIP code may not always equal 1.00 (or 100%) due to rounding issues.

When a Census tract, county or CBSA is split by a ZIP code, that tract, county or CBSA code is duplicated in the crosswalk file. In the example below tract 01001020200 is split by two different ZIP codes, 36008 and 36067, which appear in the ZIP column. The ratio of residential addresses in the first tract-ZIP record to the total number of residential addresses in the tract is .0272 (2.72%). The remaining residential addresses in that tract (97.28%) fall into the second tract-ZIP record. So, for example, if one wanted to allocate data from Census tract 01001020200 to the ZIP code level, one would multiply the number of observations in the Census tract by the residential ratio for each ZIP code associated with that Census tract. Note that the sum of each ratio column for each distinct ZIP code may not always equal 1.00 (or 100%) due to rounding issues.

HUD is unable to geocode a small number of records that we receive from the USPS. As a result, there may be some 5-digit USPS ZIP codes that will not be included in these crosswalk files. Less than 1% of the total number of active 5-digit ZIP codes in the country are excluded from the current version of the crosswalk files. Since the HUD geocoding base map is updated regularly, an effort is made to re-geocode these records with every new quarter of data. As a result, these crosswalk files will be generated on a quarterly basis and may differ slightly from quarter to quarter.

No. Unfortunately, the underlying data used to create the Crosswalk Files does not contain USPS Recommended City Names. However, Recommended City Names can be searched on the USPS ZIP Code Lookup page. Please note that Recommended City Names do not match Census defined names, please see Misalignment Between ZIP Codes and Municipal Boundaries: A Problem for Public Health for an analysis.

ZIP Codes have the potential to intersect with multiple geographies. Each record in the Crosswalk File represents a geography that intersects with a particular ZIP Code. For example, if you are reviewing a ZIP to County file, if a ZIP Code appears twice then it intersects with two counties. The ratio fields describe the percentage of the respective addresses that fall in both that ZIP Code and each county.

The 2020 update to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule includes new codes for digital evaluation and management (E/M) through a secure online platform, such as an electronic health record (EHR) patient portal.

The nationwide percentage looks at all jurisdictions that have adopted the current or next most recent editions of the International Building Code and the International Residential Code without weakening any natural hazard-resistant provisions.

Natural hazard-resistant provisions have been part of the International Building Code and International Residential Code since their first editions in 2000. New editions of the codes are released every three years, improving and expanding on the hazard-resistant provisions.

Building code adoption tracking data is used to produce and inform a variety of FEMA products and efforts. FEMA updates its BCAT data on a quarterly basis. As a result, products such as the interactive portal and these webpages are updated quarterly while any additional PDF products, such as the Regional BCAT fact sheets, are updated annually.

Committed to helping our City reach these goals by efficiently and effectively providing direct services to El Paso's businesses, residents, visitors, and development and construction community, including planning and land development, building permitting, inspection and safety, business licensing, special event permitting, and pre-development consultation assistance.

The One Stop Shop is the primary intake point for land development, building permits, and most business licenses. It also serves as a primary payment location for all building and over-the-counter construction permits and most other City applications and licenses.

Representatives from the Planning and Inspection Department, as well as other City departments involved in the development and licensing process, are available at our information counters to answer questions and offer guidance and assistance during the design, review, and inspection phases of the development process.

The City of El Paso has adopted the 2021 International Building Codes, together with the 2020 National Electrical Code. Starting October 1st, 2023, the 2015 International Building Codes will no longer apply or be accepted. The codes and their local amendments are:

Hi! I was running Portal for ArcGIS on a Windows Server 2012 R2 server for a while until up to a week ago when it suddenly went down. The Portal for ArcGIS Windows Service shows that the service is running but it is not possible to access the portal site on port 7443. I took a look at some of the logs and this is what I got from the Portal logs in the arcgisportal folder:

The portal has been initialized and configured but is not accessible. The internal portal database does not appear to be running or accepting connections. Restart the portal machine or machines and if the problem persists, contact Esri technical support (U.S.) or your distributor (customers outside the U.S.).
