Thanks for all your assistance in advance. I would appreciate all the help I can get as I am not an expert GIS user. I have a 12 state study region with 1042 counties. I like to be able to create a dataset that illustrates % land use at the county level. Using my study region shape file (county name, fips, state name, etc.) and NLCD 2006 raster files available at http://www.mrlc.gov/nlcd06_data.php, I would like to create something like this:
State County FIPS developed (open space) developed (low intensity) pasture/hay cultivated crops impervious surface MI County 1 12% 2% 1% 5% 10% MI County 2 MI County 3 MI County 4 ... ...
I was hoping to find the most direct and accurate route to represent the % land use values at the county level: (developed open space area / county area) x 100, etc. I tried zonal statistics table using 2006 NLCD Land Cover Change raster and my shape file, the results did provide statistics at a county level for all the changes, without identifying the land use categories.
