Year-round habitat coverage for four species by U.S. county

Percentage of year-round habitat for four species -- American robin, white-tailed deer, American bullfrog, and common gartersnake -- within US counties, derived from USGS Gap Analysis Project (GAP) Species Habitat Maps. Data is provided at a 30-meter resolution and covers the contiguous United States. Habitat percentages are calculated by overlaying species habitat rasters (year-round habitat represented by value 3) with US county boundaries.

The habitat maps are in Albers Conical Equal Area projection (EPSG:5070). County boundaries are derived from US Census Bureau cartographic boundary files (1:10,000,000 scale), from US-10m.json in this repository. This dataset only includes year-round habitat. The original raster data also contains values for summer and winter habitat, which are not included in this dataset. Data was processed using the exactextract library for zonal statistics.
