National Data

This section contains national-scale datasets. Most of these datasets are for the conterminous United States, but EnviroAtlas has begun to develop data for Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Download the EnviroAtlas national data download spreadsheet - 4/18/2025 (xlsx) (200.7 KB, 4/18/2025) (92 kB) for a complete list of all data layers available in the national metric tables, including additional variables not found in the Interactive Map. This spreadsheet includes file names and field names that can help you find what you are looking for in the data below.
For more details about each variable and how they were developed, see the XML metadata files that accompany the downloads below.

National data by 12-digit HUC, County, Census Tract, or Census Block Group

Most national-scale datasets in EnviroAtlas are by 12-digit HUC (subwatershed); a few also use counties, census tracts, or census block groups. In this section, these datasets can be downloaded as a collection of tables in a single zip file.

To visualize the tables as a map in a GIS, they can be joined to the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) – which can also be downloaded below – using the "HUC_12" field. Because the WBD is updated regularly, and because EnviroAtlas has clipped the 12-digit HUCs to the U.S. border, we recommend downloading the WBD from this page for joining with EnviroAtlas datasets. Using a different version of the WBD might result in errors. Tables ending in NHDPv2_WBD were originally calculated using an older version of the Watershed Boundary Dataset, and were distributed to the new boundaries using areal weighting.
Tables with names ending in BGRP10, Tract10, or County10 can be joined to the Census 2010 block group, tract, or county features, which can be downloaded from the Census Bureau.
Downloading the zip files in this section will give you all of the national-scale EnviroAtlas tabular data.

Some of the data layers from our People and Built Spaces - National category were derived from data in the Smart Location Database and are available for download via the Environmental Dataset Gateway (EDG).
The layers in the Climate Scenarios under the Time Series Layers Tab are based on the NASA Earth Exchange Downscaled Climate Projections. These can be downloaded from NASA Climate Model Data Services.

Most land cover used to develop EnviroAtlas data comes from the NLCD or NOAA's C-CAP rasters. For Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, we mosaicked together the most recent available C-CAP data and added a crosswalk to NLCD categories. The C-CAP data we use is for the following years:

C-CAP raster dates
Location	Date
Puerto Rico	2010
U.S. Virgin Islands	2012
Hawaii (Big Island), Kauai, Maui, Molokai, and Niihau	2010
Lanai and Oahu	2011
Kahoolawe	2005
