Walk a corridor, address by address

Every commercial parcel fronting a named street, in the order you would pass them, with what each one is, what it is worth and how much frontage it holds. The corridor study a broker, a planner and a city do by hand.

The file

1,267 named runs carrying at least 15 mapped parcels

44,151 rows

Counties in this file: Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, Washington · 57 columns available · free, no account, no rate limit.

Joins to an address on parcel_id, so it can be pointed at one property rather than read whole.

What the rows look like

10 real rows from this file, spread evenly across it rather than taken off the top — every file here is written in some order, so its first rows are never a fair sample of it. These are the default columns, which is what the download button hands over.

Where it comes from

Hennepin County, Ramsey County, Dakota County, Anoka County, Washington County, Scott County and Carver County parcel and road centreline layers

Records retrieved 2026-08-18 — the oldest capture date among the layers behind this file, because data is no fresher than its stalest input.

What this layer cannot answer is stated in full on the system card — read it before quoting a figure.

/api/export?dataset=corridors&format=csv returns the same file. Call /api/export with no arguments for the whole catalogue.

Point an AI at it

Every file carries its own source, its capture date and the layer's own warnings in the header, so a model reading one gets the caveats with the numbers rather than the numbers alone. Paste this at an assistant that can fetch a URL:

Everything above the header row is provenance and limits. Read it first,
then answer using only what the rows support.

llms.txt describes the whole warehouse the same way — what each dataset holds, which counties it really covers, and what it cannot answer.
