This session unveils two dashboards developed by the New York City Council Data team to transform large public datasets into accessible, actionable tools for the City Council. The CouncilCount and Max311 dashboards use data from the U.S. Census and NYC’s 311 Service Requests to offer insights tailored to the unique needs of each Council District.
Join us if you’re curious about creating dashboards for the public good, transforming large datasets into simple visuals, and delivering insights to decision-makers.
During this event, we will walk attendees through the dashboard development process. The CouncilCount dashboard provides demographic, socioeconomic, and other census data, curated specifically to help Council members better understand and serve their communities. Max311, on the other hand, leverages 311 Service Requests to track and analyze trends in community concerns, complaints, and issues reported by district.
The event will be a mix of presentation, live demo, and Q&A. We’ll start with an overview of the Council’s goals and challenges around public data, followed by a walkthrough of each dashboard. After demonstrating specific use cases, we’ll open the floor to questions and discussion on using open data for local government insights.
