Anyone know if this is commercial buildings only or does it include residential too?

Virtually all of the buildings are residential. There are 20x more residential than anything else.

Does it include bike sheds? I feel I could spend a long time on that part of the database.

One of the criteria for inclusions is an area greater than 450 square feet.

You can look at it in a slippy map: https://gis-fema.hub.arcgis.com/pages/usa-structures (a couple clicks required from there).

In my area it doesn't particularly identify garages well, so you probably can't spend that much time on bike sheds.

Some may need an assist: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bikeshedding

Wonderfully executed joke. 10pts.

Only if they're blue though. A true bike shed has to be some shade of blue.

You only get + or -.

I love to see a wry comment being taken seriously too and this one did not disappoint.

I had heard about bike shedding, and I still missed it too. I guess it was too subtle.
