We maintain a large inventory of data that can be invaluable to assist neighborhood groups in community-building efforts. If we don’t have the information you need, we can help you find it. Here are some of the data sets we use:
1970, 1980, 1990, and 2000 Census Data
- Age, Race, and Gender Breakdowns
- Income Level
- Educational Attainment (Percent of Population with a High School Diploma)
- Employment Status
- Housing Characteristics (Occupied vs. Vacant, Owner vs. Renter Occupied)
- Persons in Poverty
Neighborhood Information
- Neighborhood Boundaries
- Crime Incident and Arrest Locations
- Property Maps: Zoning, Land Use, Vacancy Status
- Political Boundaries: Council Districts, Sub-Areas, ZIP Codes, School Districts
- Neighborhood Assets: Schools, Libraries, Health Clinics, Community Centers, Parks, Child Care Centers, Places of Worship
- Businesses: Grocers, Hardware Stores, Banks, Pawn Brokers, Retail Liquor Outlets, Check Cashing Centers
- Non-Profit Service Providers: Social Services, Homeless Services, International Services
- Health Characteristics: Birth Weight of Newborns, Age of Mother
We use ESRI GIS mapping software to create visual representations of data. A large amount of our data is provided by local government agencies, such as the Metropolitan Planning Department, Police Department, and Election Commission. We can also help neighborhood organizations map their own information (membership, problem properties, etc.). We can produce maps that range in size from standard 8 ½” x 11” sheets of paper up to poster-sized prints 36” in width.
