Healthy City will soon be a resource for all of California Healthy City is a project of the Advancement Project, a national civil rights, public policy action tank focused on closing the opportunity gap for high need communities. Advancement Project’s work across issues and disciplines has one common principle: to support and enhance community led sustainable change. Healthy City is a direct outgrowth of this principle.
HC has been successful in LA as an information + action resource because of the partnerships we established early on in the development of the project to help us understand and meet the needs of communities. Going statewide, HC continues to be committed to forming partnerships to address community needs. At this stage, HC has 4 primary types of formal partnerships supporting the project in the statewide expansion. This includes 1) our Founding/Governing here in LA, 2) Statewide partners – experts in policy/advocacy – issue areas, 3) Local regional partners to provide some of the same support, training, etc. to communities in their region as we do here in LA, and 4) Our I & R partners who provide the detailed resource information to help find local services, program planning, assess community needs, etc.
HC.org provides these people in these various roles with data and technology to support their work on behalf of our communities. HC.org helps encourage data-driven planning and inform policy within sectors such as Education, Public Safety, Health, Public Health, Government, etc.
The next two slides show two major ‘types’ of data – point & thematic.
Point data –What we call “point data” is information that we have for particular locations or resources. This is a map of food banks & food pantries in San Francisco. We have detailed service information for social service resources such as this, as well as schools and hospitals. Later we’ll be creating asset maps, so we’ll be drawing from this point data.
New point data… Over the last year we’ve reached out to 2-1-1 agencies across the state to display their data. As of September, 2010, we have 211 data for 16 counties. We’ve also added Hospitals, Head Start agencies, and data from The California Department of Education. Other points that have often been requested, such as Alcohol Outlets, EPA sites, etc., are available only in the Map room, and not the Service room.
Thematic data – This is a map showing where there is a concentration of families in poverty in California. Thematic maps display intensity of information (such as demographic, health, or socioeconomic characteristics) about a region by drawing from the many data sources we house.
More comprehensive in data sources and issue areas We have expanded our data holdings to focus more on public safety, the nonprofit infrastructure and the environment. HealthyCity.org now features new data from the California Department of Social Services, California Employment Development Department, California Cancer Registry and many more new data sources. More current … and more years of data We have added 2009 Nielsen Claritas, Inc. estimate data to our publicly available data and updated data from the California Department of Public Health, California Department of Education, and American Community Survey and many other datasets. We now feature data collected in the 1990s as well as the 2000s, allowing longer time comparisons and better data trending capabilities. Broader in scope, while more focused on local communities HealthyCity.org now covers the State of California in addition to Los Angeles County. Users can now view more data and smaller geographies such as block groups, and new geographies such as Air Basins and updated Voter Precincts are available for search.
