Interactive Map Data
This online, interactive mapping tool layers several data sources across various neighborhood planning topics. This tool is intended to be helpful in depicting alignment and/or gaps in how data supports lived experiences. It should not be used alone, but coupled with community engagement and conversations to ground the data. It may be used to make data-informed decisions about strategy, programming, and development, and is available as a public resource.
Our vision is to continue to fundraise to add data layers to this map within the East Side, and also to expand the geography of the resources as the WITHIN WNY program grows.
Prospect Hill Consulting, LLC, a local minority-and-women-owned consulting firm has designed and generated all of the maps in the WITHIN East Side report and on the HUB site, including the data analyses and infographics seen throughout the report.
Access to data from several community, government, academic and other partners, including and not limited to UB Food Systems Planning and Healthy Communities Lab, GOBike Buffalo, the NFTA, GBNRTC, Shared Mobility Inc, the Pride in Place Buffalo initiative, and others. This collaboration has made it possible to create a useful resource that facilities strategic planning and helps break down silos. Data layers and sources are all available for public download.
Data layer examples include: Existing Land Use, City of Buffalo Zoning, Future Land Use, Industry Focus Areas, Landmarks, Historic Districts, Cultural and Creative Economy Assets, Business Density, Residential Property Development Information, Residential Land Use Types, Residential Owner by Type, Demolitions, Assessed Land Values, Mobility and Transportation, Places of Worship, Community Centers, Services for Youth and Older Adults, Food Access, Walkability, Environmental Remediation Sites, Parking, Vacant Land, Basement Flooding, Priority Investment Corridors, and Clean Energy data layers.
If you would like to contribute additional data layers or you are interested in providing financial support to sustain and expand the use of this tool for additional data sets and/or geographies, please contact Tyra Johnson Hux.
