- Description
- PolicyMap is an online data and mapping application that 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 (address, block group, census tract, zip code,
county, city, state, metro area) as well as unique geographies such as school districts and
political boundaries. Data is accessible in interactive maps, tables, charts, and reports;
data is also downloadable as comma-separated value (.csv) files. The maps can be printed,
emailed, or saved as image files.
While the public data is available freely, the Rutgers subscription provides access to additional
data sets from proprietary sources, including detailed home sales statistics from Boxwood Means,
school district performance from GreatSchools, locations of grocery stores and non-profit
organizations, and Nielsen (Claritas) estimates and projections for demographic indicators.
