We constructed a National Zoning and Land Use Database using natural language processing techniques on publicly available administrative data. We created the National Zoning and Land Use Database (NZLUD) to provide national zoning and land use data for the 2019-2022 time period. We supply our source code to enable timely access to publicly available zoning information. Users can rerun our code at regular intervals to create panel zoning data moving forward. Users can also expand to additional municipalities or additional zoning and land use measures not currently captured by our process. The intent is for this code to further automate the process of building national zoning and land use information in an open source way. Overall, the dataset has a size of 82,2 kB and is structured into:

  • Municipal-Level Data: The file contains zoning and land use information for individual municipalities. This includes various measures extracted using NLP techniques from municipal codes, focusing on aspects such as zoning regulations and land use policies. ​

  • MSA-Level Data: This file aggregates the municipal-level data to the MSA level, providing a broader view of zoning and land use patterns across metropolitan areas. ​
