Milwaukee Air Quality
In 2024, Data You Can Use partnered with the MKE FreshAir Collective to analyze and visualize the data they collected through their air quality sensors. The mission of MKE FreshAir Collective is to provide accurate, timely information about air quality in Milwaukee to residents, businesses, and policymakers, with a steadfast commitment to equity and addressing systemic racism. They use state-of-the-art, consumer accessible equipment to monitor air quality in real-time. The 2024 Milwaukee Air Qualirt report was the first time that air quality was analyzed at a neighborhood level in Milwaukee.
The 2025 Milwaukee Air Quality report includes more data and additional neighborhoods, as MKE FreshAir Collective has continued to expand their network of sensors. In addition, the report takes a closer look at wildfire smoke and its effects on air quality during the summer of 2025.
