About CityDNA
Social Compact’s CityDNA is designed to host data resulting from multiple initiatives serving as a powerful tool that will allow different stakeholders to access and visualize an increasingly expanding pool of local level, multidisciplinary information in their decision-making processes. The specific goal of CityDNA, an interactive web-based system, is to deliver critical content (data, mapping tools and reports) to an organized network of community development users working from a common information platform toward a common goal in underserved urban neighborhoods. CityDNA is designed for both experts and novice users, providing information for several geographies (i.e. neighborhood, tract, trade area) based on the search and query of a complete database of indicators.
About Social Compact
Social Compact is a nonprofit, nonpartisan coalition of business leaders from across the country committed to promoting successful investment in lower-income communities. Working in close partnership with community and corporate leaders over the past decade and a half, Social Compact has pioneered the “DrillDown,” a methodology to analyze inner-city markets and create accurate, business-oriented profiles of “emerging” neighborhood markets. Drawing on business disciplines and community strength, these DrillDown profiles have a strong track record of catalyzing sustainable, private investment, benefiting communities and businesses alike.
Social Compact’s innovative research fills a void in the market: replacing outdated, deficiency-based data on lower-income communities with reliable market analysis to drive better investment decisions in underserved communities. The goal: safe and healthy neighborhoods in which to live and do business.
