This workshop will introduce you to two similar data source and mapping tools. PolicyMap provides access to over 10,000 indicators related to demographics, housing, income, crime, mortgages, health, jobs, and more. Data is available at many common geographic entities as well as unique geographies. It is accessible in interactive maps, tables, charts, and reports and downloadable as comma-separated value (.csv) files.

Simply Map provides some commercially-produced population projections; it also overlays some 1980 and 1990 census data onto 2000 and 2010 census tract and block group boundaries for easier comparisons within neighborhoods. Simply Map also contains a substantial amount of marketing data.
