Why can I view maps for some indicators and not all indicators?
The dashboard contains maps for HCI-maintained indicators that show how your community is doing in comparison to other communities (green-yellow-red divided gauge), as shown below:
Maps are available for standard geographies (county, zip code and census tract). Some indicators may not have maps because:
- The indicator data is locally-maintained. To identify who maintains the indicator, view the “Maintained By” field on the indicator detail page.
- The indicator data is compared to a mean or median value; the gauge does not have distinct divisions, as shown below:
- The indicator shows data for a non-standard geography. Custom geographies, such as special regions, service areas or subsets of zip codes, are not mapped.
Why are some values for counties and/or zip codes not available?
Certain values may not be available for a variety of reasons:
- HCI only provides the values for counties, zip codes and census tracts where data is available on your site.
- When there are only a small number of data values for a zip code or county (e.g., 10 deaths due to heart disease), data values are often not shown due to confidentiality and stability concerns. You will not see this data mapped or on your dashboard.
- Zip codes change more often than indicator data is collected and reported. If the zip code at the time of data collection no longer exists, the data will not be mapped.
Why can’t I see zip code level data for all indicators?Data collection at the zip code level is a resource intensive process; therefore, many data sources do not collect and report data at this level.I have suggestions for future improvements. Where can I send them?Please submit suggestions through the Send Feedback link.

What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the per capita impact fee revenue (revenue collected divided by population) for all new development in Palm Beach County. Impact fees are financial contributions imposed by governments on home / remodeling construction, commercial construction, and land development projects. Impact Fees assist in covering the various infrastructure and service costs related to the impact of new development. Fees are charged for schools, roads, public buildings, parks, libraries, fire rescue, and law enforcement in Palm Beach County. |
| Why this is important: Impact fees provide a means of generating income to cover the cost of new growth that can be difficult to anticipate in a community. Counties that have relatively high or steadily increasing per capita impact fees should monitor the effectiveness of the methodology used to set them and their impact on the overall costs of development. Finding the optimum balance of impact fees and taxes to support infrastructure needs helps counties remain competitive as destinations for new residents and employers while maintaining important quality growth standards. |
| Technical Note: The distribution is based on data from 66 Florida counties. |
