A multi-temporal land-use/land-cover dataset for Hunterdon County, New Jersey is utilized to measure new housing units developed between Time 1 (1986) and Time 2 (1995) for five traits defined as "sprawl" in the planning and policy literature : (1) density, (2) leapfrog, (3) segregated land use, (4) accessibility, and (5) highway strip. The resulting housing-unit sprawl indicator measurements are summarized by municipality to provide a "sprawl report card". The analysis provides a new direction in sprawl research that addresses sprawl at the atomic level, captures the temporal nature of urban growth, and provides measures that are potentially useful to planners addressing sprawl.
