Participant: Noah UrbanAffiliation: Data Driven DetroitParticipant Insights: "We submitted the Housing Information Portal, through which we provide information on up-to-date housing and property conditions in Detroit's neighborhoods. The tool allows users to access a ton of data and statistics about housing and property in their neighborhoods, and over half of the indicators on its profile pages (sample page here: https://hip.datadrivendetroit.org/custom-profiles/genesis-hope/) are sourced from the City's Open Data Portal. To me, this represents a fantastic example of the power of Open Data. After demonstrating the Portal, we had one CDO tell us that he was able to get more relevant information about his neighborhood from ten minutes of using this tool than he had been able to get from entire summers of having interns working on data collection.”
