This data is from five tide stations located in waterways throughout Norfolk: Elizabeth River, Grandy Village, Lafayette River, Mason Creek, Ocean View Recreation Center. This data will allow users to track and analyze tide levels in the city of Norfolk. The data is updated every six minutes and encompasses a rolling year.

Note: At the Mason Creek tide station, the water flows through a weir system (small dam) that alters the flow characteristics of the water; data from this tide station will differ from the other four tide stations.

Note: The Pretty Lake tide station communication line has been damaged and is not currently transmitting data. Repairs are underway and data transmission should begin again in June 2021.

Disclaimer: The City is making this data available with the understanding that it has not been reviewed or verified by an expert.

This dataset provides information about all Neighborhood Quality code enforcement open and closed cases along with their associated inspections, violations, and status information. All Neighborhood Quality data is collected and reported from the Neighborhood Quality code enforcement office.
Neighborhood Quality code enforcement’s mission is to maintain and strengthen neighborhood standards. The City of Norfolk’s approach to code enforcement is to use all tools to achieve compliance. These tools include educating civic leagues, citizens, and the public in understanding the scope of enforcement. Other tools are working with homeowners to help establish timelines for projects, and legal steps for abatement. This data entered will reflect that workflow of a responsive customer-oriented organization using tools to accomplish compliance. This web-based tool consolidates entry of Code Enforcement cases to one central application in correspondence with this initiative. All codes cited are from the city of Norfolk’s Codes Chapter 25 which covers Vehicle and Property and Chapter 27 which covers nuisances.

The Address Information Resource is a compilation of information related to active and pending addresses in the City of Norfolk. It provides a consolidated source to allow for quick and easy access to information about an address including details related to school districts, municipal services, planning, public safety, and civic leadership. It is one of the main data resources that provides content for the Norfolk AIR website (http://air.norfolk.gov)

This dataset provides information about Norfolk's parks, open spaces, community centers and other city properties.

This data will be updated twice a year, in January and July.

First, a caveat: the NFIP data does NOT provide information specific to individual homes or parcels. This information is protected under federal law. All personal identifying information about policy holders has been redacted, and data has been anonymized to census tract, reported ZIP code, and one decimal point digit of latitute and longitude. If mapped, flood insurance policies and claims may appear to be clustered at a particular location due to this anonymization.
What all that means: you cannot search for an address to see whether it has flooded.
However, among many things, this data shows flooding trends in Norfolk over the last 40+ years. It shows the census tracts that flood most frequently. And it shows where the largest number and highest value of claims occur.

FEMA believes this historic release of NFIP data promotes transparency, reduces complexity related to public data requests, and improves how stakeholders interact with and understand the program. This is the largest, most comprehensive release of NFIP data coordinated by FEMA to date. This dataset allows for customizable searches to create reports, analyze and visualize present and historical NFIP data faster and easier than before.
This data will help FEMA build a national culture of preparedness by providing claims and policy information people need to make better choices about their flood risk and the insurance they need to protect the life they've built.
Norfolk's Open Data team extracted city-specific information from the FEMA dataset. The dataset included here represents almost 6,000 claims on record from 1977 through 2019, totaling 67 million dollars in damage in the City of Norfolk.

Norfolk’s Pace Bike Share program launched in April 2018. Pace is a vendor that provided 250 share bikes in Norfolk for public use. The Pace program is a third-party application that allows riders to reserve and use a bicycle in Norfolk at a low cost. This dataset is a record of trips taken in 2018. Trip data is tracked by user’s cell phones, not by a device on the bicycle, which may result in anomalies in the data.

*Please note: The Norfolk Pace Bike dataset consists of data provided to Norfolk by Zagster, the company that implemented the Pace Bike program. The city makes no representation or warranty as to the completeness or accuracy of the data.
This dataset includes trip path data collected in 2018 only. The Pace Bike program was halted in Norfolk in early 2020 and the city was unable to obtain the 2019 data from the vendor.
