Abstract: Throughout the United States, an enormous amount of geospatial data is being produced at local levels. While these data serve the local efforts for which they are created, questions remain about whether these data can serve a larger audience as well. This paper reports the results of a national survey on the state of local framework data in the US, suggesting that these data are a rich and diverse resource. The survey was conducted by the Federal Geographic Data Committee and the National States Geographic Information Council. Data analysis is based on a sample of 836 county-level data producers. We find that the quality, quantity, and very nature of framework data is diverse, suggesting that regional or national framework efforts quite complicated. Our analysis also finds that many data producers may not be fully prepared to share data in a manner consistent with regional or national spatial data infrastructure.
