About the Dashboard
Chicago is a city of diverse communities and neighborhoods with significant differences in their demographics, health and safety, economic vitality, and educational outcomes.
The McCormick Foundation has, in partnership with DataMade, worked to organize data from public sources by neighborhood ward, and school board district to allow users to see the data in the context of other communities, the city as a whole, and spot trends across the years. highlight these differences and trends across years. This interactive analytics platform is intended to help us and our partners improve outcomes in under-resourced communities to help create a more vibrant city for all.
