UI APPROACH • Assemble national datasets • Work involves assembly, cleaning, selecting indicators, structuring for ease of use • Developed the Neighborhood Change Database (NCDB – consistent census data since 1970) • These data systems – the content for DataPlace • Form working relationship with local practitioners • Coordinate the National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership (NNIP – since 1995) • Local data intermediaries – operate neighborhood level information systems in public interest • Number of local partners has grown (from 6 to 32)
NATIONAL DATA RESOURCES • Economy • Example: Zip Business Patterns • Education • Example: National Center for Education Statistics • Income/Savings • Example: Statistics of Income Individual Tax Data • Housing • Example: Home Mortgage Disclosure Act • Example: Section 8/Multifamily
NATIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD INDICATORS PARTNERSHIP (NNIP) • Local partners operate information systems • Recurrently updated neighborhood-level data • Multiple topics and data sources • Trusted institutions • Mostly outside of government • 38% University institutes, 33% stand-alone nonprofits • Rely on collaboration with other sectors and residents • Shared mission: Democratizing information • Practical applications central to mission • Direct work with stakeholders – stakeholders “own” the product
