The American Community Survey (ACS) is an ongoing survey that provides vital information on a yearly basis about our nation and its people by contacting over 3.5 million households across the country. The resulting data provides incredibly detailed demographic information across the US aggregated at various geographic levels which helps determine how more than $675 billion in federal and state funding are distributed each year.

The Post gained access to the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Automation of Reports and Consolidated Orders System, known as ARCOS, as the result of a court order. The Post and HD Media, which publishes the Charleston Gazette-Mail in West Virginia, waged a year-long legal battle for access to the database, which the government and the drug industry had sought to keep secret.

The version of the database published by The Post allows readers to learn how much hydrocodone and oxycodone went to individual states and counties, and which companies and distributors were responsible.

Virginia's 212 Designated Qualified Opportunity Zones

Sites within Virginia where DEQ or other data providers have collected water column, sediment, fish tissue or benthic macroinvertebrate samples within the given assessment data window (2016). Attributes assigned to each station are summarized based on samples collected per station ID. QA/QC checks are performed on the database to verify attribute and spatial accuracy, however errors may still occur. Please direct any questions about attribute accuracy to the Data Distributor. The geospatial product is maintained and updated by VA DEQ each assessment cycle (biennially) using the most current data provided. Stations not monitored within the given data window may be included for clarification of assessment unit ID status but have no data within the parameter columns. See the Comments fields for those instances.  Metadata is provided in the data Fact Sheet which contains contact information, process steps, attribute descriptions, and distribution information.
