National Land Cover Database (NLCD) information:  USGS recategorized and added some land use types in NCLD ​from 1992 to 2019. For these two maps, some categories were combined into more general categories, and the same colors selected, to enable a like comparison of land use over that span of time.
Land Use Change* in Monroe County, NY from 1992 to 2019
(a) Developed land (red-intensive, pink-moderate) increased approximately 10.9% (45,952 acres)
(b) Fields (cultivated and meadows) decreased approximately 17.9% (77,204 acres)
(c) Wetlands (which includes more categories in 2019) increased approximately 10% (42,581 acres)
(d) Forest (greens) decreased approximately 3.5% (15,627 acres)
