Neighborhood Portraits

The Neighborhood Portraits project uses data from the American Community Survey to create a series of tables describing the population, households, and housing in Milwaukee neighborhoods. The framework is based on input and advice from community organizers working in neighborhoods supported by Milwaukee’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and the Community Development Alliance.

Data You Can Use and our partners hope that these tables continue to support those working in Milwaukee neighborhoods in their planning, organizing, and funding development work.
