MKE Indicators

Data You Can Use, in collaboration with the Community Development Alliance, is pleased to release this third round of indicator maps for Milwaukee’s neighborhoods. These indicators are intended to help community members, planners, policy makers, and neighborhood organizations to plan, document and explore key pieces of information about their neighborhoods. The MKE indicators compliment our Neighborhood Portraits by providing additional variables and a city-wide view of important topics. 

Explore data across five categories: Equitable Housing, Equity & Access, Population, Health, and Market Value!

In this release, we are launching a new interactive interface for our indicator maps, which allow you to explore data across the city, view data alongside neighborhood boundaries, open pop-ups to see additional variables, and search specific addresses. Now, all five categories are accessible from one portal. In addition, most indicators have been updated to the most recent data release (Historic Disadvantage, New Construction and Major Rehabs, and Access to Parks remain the same as last release). Data for these indicators were drawn from a variety of sources, including the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, the CDC’s PLACES Health data, the City of Milwaukee, and others. Due to this, the data represented are not all from the same year. Furthermore, while most indicators are displayed at the census tract level, some are displayed at different geographies, such as block groups. You can learn more about the data and access downloadable datasets here.
