Municipal Boundaries and Wards Updates & New Population Fields
The Arkansas GIS Office is pleased to announce we have updated Municipal Boundaries and Municipal Wards based on the below.
*We have added a new field to Municipal Wards which contains the 2020 Census population per Ward as reported by the City or their representative. Additionally, city population totals reported by the US Census Bureau for the years 2000, 2010 and 2020 have been added to the Municipal Boundaries data. This data was retrieved from the US Census Bureau at data.census.gov.
