Description
  Abstract: Represents city blocks or polygon areas defined by the circumference of contiguous parcels. With respect to Office of the Assessor "keycards," blocks represent the first 8 digits of a keycard, i.e. parcels N0180478001, N0180478002, and N0180478003 would all be located on block N0180478.
  Purpose: Blocks are the basis of the official tax map for the City of Richmond. Blocks primarily provide cartographic capabilities. They are used to support mapping at smaller scales (1:10,000+), in which it is not practical to map individual parcels, but displaying the city blocks is useful for cartographic representation of land. Blocks are also useful for labeling the keycard name.
