250+ Datasets For Your Project Area, Instantly

Enrichment is a new way to get precise data about your project area, quicker than you ever imagined, so you can make data-driven decisions on the fly.

Fast shapefile upload of your project area

Enrichment lets you easily upload a shapefile containing your project-area boundary and view it instantly as a layer on mySidewalk’s data-enriched interactive map.

Powerful visual analysis of your project area

Make your project boundary an Area of Interest and choose both the data you want and the scale you want it at to generate an easily-readable and beautiful map. The map depicts the concentration of the selected variables–people living with disability, vacant housing units, people with health insurance, number of students — within your project area. Get absolute values or normalize by population or housing units for percentages.

At a glance, view mySidewalk’s 250+ data points spanning six thematic categories apportioned specifically to your project area. Export the data to a spreadsheet to conduct more research, turn it into charts and graphs, or simply share it with stakeholders.
