Students and Universities

Spend more time analyzing data, less time finding it.

PolicyMap provides students and library users with the data they need to conduct neighborhood based analysis for their research and studies. PolicyMap offers its data as maps, tables, charts and reports that can be incorporated into papers, presentations, blogs and websites.

"I've found that PolicyMap is a very effective tool in transforming students from research consumers to research producers. In the past, my introductory research class students became discouraged before they could produce results. I asked students to use PolicyMap to tell me some distinctive qualities of their own neighborhood, they were on the site and producing maps and analyses very quickly."
Mark Stern, Professor of Social Welfare and History Co-Director, Urban Studies program University of Pennsylvania
