Abstract

This site provides access to download an ArcGIS geodatabase or shapefiles for the 2017 Texas Address Database, compiled by the Center for Water and the Environment (CWE) at the University of Texas at Austin, with guidance and funding from the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM). These addresses are used by TDEM to help anticipate potential impacts of serious weather and flooding events statewide. This is part of the Texas Water Model (TWM), a project to adapt the NOAA National Water Model [1] for use in Texas public safety. This database was compiled over the period from June 2016 to December 2017. A number of gaps remain (towns and cities missing address points), see Address Database Gaps spreadsheet below [4]. Additional datasets include administrative boundaries for Texas counties (including Federal and State disaster-declarations), Councils of Government, and Texas Dept of Public Safety Regions. An Esri ArcGIS Story Map [5] web app provides an interactive map-based portal to explore and access these data layers for download.

The address points in this database include their "height above nearest drainage" (HAND) as attributes in meters and feet. HAND is an elevation model developed through processing by the TauDEM method [2], built on USGS National Elevation Data (NED) with 10m horizontal resolution. The HAND elevation data and 10m NED for the continental United States are available for download from the Texas Advanced Computational Center (TACC) [3].

The complete statewide dataset contains about 9.28 million address points representing a population of about 28 million. The total file size is about 5GB in shapefile format. For better download performance, the shapefile version of this data is divided into 5 regions, based on groupings of major watersheds identified by their hydrologic unit codes (HUC). These are zipped by region, with no zipfile greater than 120mb:
- North Tx: HUC1108-1114 (0.52 million address points)
- DFW-East Tx: HUC1201-1203 (3.06 million address points)
- Houston-SE Tx: HUC1204 (1.84 million address points)
- Central Tx: HUC1205-1210 (2.96 million address points)
- Rio Grande-SW Tx: HUC2111-1309 (2.96 million address points)

Additional state and county boundaries are included (Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas), as well as disaster-declaration status.

Compilation notes: The Texas Commission for State Emergency Communications (CSEC) provided the first 3 million address points received, in a single batch representing 213 of Texas' 254 counties. The remaining 41 counties were primarily urban areas comprising about 6.28 million addresses (totaling about 9.28 million addresses statewide). We reached the GIS data providers for these areas (see Contributors list below) through these emergency communications networks: Texas 9-1-1 Alliance, the Texas Emergency GIS Response Team (EGRT), and the Texas GIS 9-1-1 User Group. The address data was typically organized in groupings of counties called Councils of Governments (COG) or Regional Planning Commissions (RPC) or Development Councils (DC). Every county in Texas belongs to a COG, RPC or DC. We reconciled all counties' addresses to a common, very simple schema, and merged into a single geodatabase.

November 2023 updates: In 2019, TNRIS took over maintenance of the Texas Address Database, which is now a StratMap program updated annually [6]. In 2023, TNRIS also changed its name to the Texas Geographic Information Office (TxGIO). The datasets available for download below are not being updated, but are current as of the time of Hurricane Harvey.
