The Vermont Livability Map tells the story of the Vermont Zoning Atlas Project and combines data from the Vermont Zoning Atlas, the Wastewater Infrastructure Map, and a flood risk map to provide an educational exploration of how zoning and infrastructure affect livability in Vermont. It leverages open data and open-source technology to create an accessible resource that supports sustainable development, emergency preparedness, and policy analysis.

• Zoning Visualization: Explore data from the Vermont Zoning Atlas to understand zoning restrictions and opportunities across Vermont.
• Infrastructure Mapping: View wastewater infrastructure data, helping identify areas with or without access to critical services.
• Flood Risk Assessment: Analyze flood-prone regions to assist in resilience planning and to promote safe, sustainable development.
• User-Friendly Interface: Navigate Vermont’s diverse datasets in a streamlined, interactive format that simplifies complex information for easy interpretation.

The following datasets are integrated into the Vermont Livability Map:

• Vermont Zoning Atlas: Provides insights into zoning policies across different municipalities in Vermont.
• Wastewater Infrastructure Map: Maps existing wastewater systems and locations in need of infrastructure upgrades.
• Flooding Map: Identifies flood risk areas to aid in climate adaptation and emergency preparedness.
