Is this referring to City of Portland zoning? If so, I can help get this data.

It is; if you know where to find it that would be awesome

Can someone further define the metrics we want here? Knowing will help me set up the data appropriately. I may need to aggregate Portland's zoning classes into simpler classes (also possibly Gresham's as well). Two things I imagine we're measuring, but if there's something else, let me know:

• Calculating total area of each zoning class per FMA. This would helpful in profiling a given FMA.
• Intersect each incident with a zoning class to understand more about the location of a given incident (e.g. what types of incidents happen in residential vs industrial?)
• Something else?

I don't know about others, but your first bullet point was what I mostly had in mind. It might be nice to report to the responders of an FMA what their zoning distribution looks like. I also quite like your second idea; that could be one of the featured 'cards' we make for presentation night.

I know almost nothing about zoning data, unless it hasn't changed since the original Sim City (SNES version).
