About the Neighborhood Data Portal
Launched by Pratt Center in 2016, the Neighborhood Data Portal is a free, online data mapping platform that integrates several dozen datasets that break down NYC by the numbers. While this training will focus on the fundamentals of using the data portal, we will also include tips and insights into how spatial data can strengthen and support healthy program development.
