The only open access city-level data aggregator
The City Data Explorer provides data for 100+ U.S. cities from today, last year, and ten years ago for a variety of quality of life policy areas. It parses 20+ federal data sources to produce a data dashboard unlike any other.
Not only does it do the difficult work of translating data to a city level—it also teases apart the reality of the quality of life for specific residents and helps city administrations answer the question—”are our policies working?”
