Once you have downloaded the Super Neighborhoods from COHGIS and the Wastewater Outfalls and Major Rivers from H-GAC, you will be able to find the data files in your Downloads folder. All of the files are zipped, meaning they contain compressed files of data within them (you can tell a file is zipped when the file type column reads “Compressed (zipped) Folder”). You will need to unzip the folders to be able to see the data inside them. To do that:

1. Using File Explorer, open the Downloads folder.
2. Ensure that you see the following zipped folders in your Downloads folder.

• Census_2010_By_SuperNeighborhood
• Major_Rivers
• Wastewater_Outfalls

1. Select all three folders.
2. Right-click any of the selected folders and select 7-Zip > Extract here.

Your data is in a file folder in its decompressed format and ready to be brought into ArcGIS Pro.
