What is PolicyMap?

An online (no software installation needed) U.S. national data and mapping tool and analytics platform with multidisciplinary applications for college students and faculty. Undergraduate and graduate schools use us in their curriculum and research related to social sciences, urban studies, real estate and housing analysis, community and economic development, public administration, public health, policy and political science, education, business, economics, statistics, and geography, among others. Users can leverage thousands of U.S. data indicators in PolicyMap to perform demographic and socioeconomic analysis, from a neighborhood census block group in many cases up to a national level, as well as create custom regions for their research and studies. 
•    Easily create high-quality maps.
•    Use our unlimited self-service data loader to overlay your address-level data on top of PolicyMap data.
•    Download our data for your research, mapping, and presentation tools such as Tableau, or integrate data into SQL, R, Python, and more workflows.
•    Instantly run community profiles or community health reports for any area.
•    Analyze any community with multi-layer maps to identify hot spots or gaps.
