I am tempted to import this data into my system and build a pivot table of building type (PRIM_OCC) by state.
I could then graph the data (pie chart, bar graph, etc) to show how the building type distribution (e.g. residential ratio per hospital) varies between the states.
Interesting, but not what I was thinking.
Anyone know if this is commercial buildings only or does it include residential too?
Virtually all of the buildings are residential. There are 20x more residential than anything else.
A lot of them don't have addresses. I wonder if it can be intersected with another data set that has more complete address list.
Does it include bike sheds? I feel I could spend a long time on that part of the database.

Some may need an assist: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bikeshedding
One of the criteria for inclusions is an area greater than 450 square feet.
You can look at it in a slippy map: https://gis-fema.hub.arcgis.com/pages/usa-structures (a couple clicks required from there).
In my area it doesn't particularly identify garages well, so you probably can't spend that much time on bike sheds.
Only if they're blue though. A true bike shed has to be some shade of blue.
Wonderfully executed joke. 10pts.
You only get + or -.
I love to see a wry comment being taken seriously too and this one did not disappoint.
Desktop computers are amazing these days.
any cool ideas I could build with this data?
A sandbox game with a map 1 to 1 with the ground truth.
i have no idea what that even means.
Think along the lines of how MS Flight Sim used photogrammetry to let people fly over their houses

What would the licensing be? I have a test earth I'm doing this with in Godot, but am paranoid about using anything not GPL/CC compat...
An application that simulates shadows at a particular location. For real estate purposes, seeing what kind of sunshine you would get in your backyard when you purchase that house with a backyard in the north.
The geometry is just the building footprint. You could probably do some sort of estimate as to how likely the yard was to have sun, but it wouldn't enable doing anything detailed.
CoreLogic was doing something like this, but line of sight from a window and then be able to possibly identify the scene / view that can be had from that window.
