PolicyMap is a CNET Webware Winner! | September 2009
UPDATED! 2009/2014 Claritas Data: PolicyMap now contains current 2009 demographic information and 5 year projections from Claritas, Inc. Data from Claritas is available nationwide for block groups, census tracts, counties, zip codes, MSAs and more.
Subscribers can access this data by selecting from among the many layers available in the Add Data Layer menu. Subscribers will also find this updated data in the reports available on PolicyMap.
NEW! TRF Proximity to High Performing Public Schools Calculation: TRF calculated the shortest distance to a public school with a GreatSchools Overall School Rating of 9 or 10 for the centroid of each Census Tract in the nation to give users a sense of how close areas around the country are to a high performing school. Users should note that this is a representation only and is limited by the fact that a rating is not assigned by GreatSchools to every public school in the nation and the calculation does not take into account political boundaries or catchment areas that may make a public school inaccessible.
Subscribers can find this map under the Education tab in the Add Data Layer menu.
Users can find this data for free under the Health tab in the Add Data Layer menu.
