GIS Facts & Statistics

GIS is used to track many different City of Walla Walla assets. In many cases, both the spatial component and the attribute information are housed in the GIS database (for example, the x & y location and information about the asset). Examples of assets housed in GIS include roads, street signs, traffic signals, water lines, and properties. Each asset has a spatial location and may be related to other assets, called a spatial relationship. A GIS system helps manage these spatial relationships. Below are facts and statistics garnered from assets in the GIS database in June, 2025:

Walla Walla Asset Detail Map

Assets can be dynamic, which means they can and do change. For example, a water line may be replaced or added on to, or a street sign may be moved or replaced. With that said, these numbers are accurate only at the time they were queried, but provide a good example of what the city's GIS manages and maintains.
