Street lines are major roads drawn from a saved OpenStreetMap extract on this site; nothing loads from outside it.
Dots are camera positions mapped by volunteers on OpenStreetMap (DeFlock), unverified: a dot can be missing, misplaced or out of date, and the map can't say who runs a camera. They are the same dots as the camera tracker's nearby map, which has the city counts. The counts by precinct and police district are below the lookup; the address lookup never uses the dots.

What the result means
Polk County election records list six precincts labeled Altoona. Precincts organize voting and polling places. They are not City Council wards. Polling places can change by election, so verify with the Polk County Auditor before voting.
All five Council members are elected at large, so every Altoona address shares the same Council. See their recorded votes and profiles.
The City publishes three police districts, the department’s operational areas. They do not report crime levels, patrol frequency, or response times. See the police records page.
Street ranges come from county address records grouped into blocks of at least five addresses. Ranges near a boundary can be imperfect; the page flags them. Boundaries are current published versions, simplified for display.
