Davis Islands Task Force - Land Uses

 printer friendly  

Land Use/Land Cover is a description of how land is being used. The Florida Department of Transportation developed a classification system called the Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System. These classifications include nine broad categories of use.

  • Urban and Built Up: "areas of intensive use with much of the land occupied by man-made structures."
  • Agriculture: "those lands which are cultivated to produce food crops and livestock."
  • Rangeland: "land where the potential natural vegetation is predominantly grasses, grass like plants, forbs or shrubs and is capable of being grazed."
  • Upland Forests: "upland areas which support a tree canopy closure of ten (10) percent or more."
  • Water: "all areas within the land mass of the United States that are predominantly or persistently water covered provided that, if linear, they are at least 1/8 mile (660 feet or 200 meters) wide or, if extended, cover at least 40 acres (16 hectares)…Those portions of a water body having emergent vegetation or observable submerged vegetation are placed in the Wetlands category."
  • Wetlands: "those areas where the water table is at, near or above the land surface for a significant portion of most years."
  • Barren Land: "very little or no vegetation and limited potential to support vegetative communities."
  • Transportation, Communication and Utilities: "Transportation facilities are used for the movement of people and goods; therefore, they are major influences on land and many land use boundaries are outlined by them."
  • Other: A category to be used for specific topics.

The more specific classifications associated with "Urban and Built Up" are also presented:

  • Residential Low Density: "Less than two dwelling units per acre."

Davis Islands- Demographics

Household Characteristics

Household characteristics are used by the US Census to categorize the household by the type of relationship the people that live in that unit share and/or the gender of the person responsible for maintaining the household. One household includes all the people who occupy a housing unit as their usual place of residence. As defined by the Census: "Households are classified by type according to the sex of the householder and the presence of relatives. Examples include: married-couple family; male householder, no wife present; female householder, no husband present; spouse (husband/wife); child; and other relatives." The householder is typically the person in whose name the home is owned or rented.

1066.76 1-Person Household
70 Female householder (no husband present), no own children under 18
67.99 Female householder (no husband present), with own children under 18
33 Male householder (no wife present), no own children under 18
24 Male householder (no wife present), with own children under 18
