Draft KNC10 application:
TITLE
Community Barometer
DESCRIPTION
Everyblock shows us recent building permits, but does not show us trends. Are building permits down from last year? By how much?
Perhaps we have a database of section 8 housing, and a database of fire department calls. We should be able to calculate the average response time from the fire department database, and compare it to the section 8 addresses to determine if they receive the same level of service.
Community Barometer is a static set of reporting tools designed to address a handful of specific topics like the examples above. Access to data that we feel is beneficial to the safety and well-being of all communities should be ubiquitous.
Basic datasets may include:
Building Permits
Poliece calls
Fire calls
Deaths
Arrests
Violent crimes
Fatal car accidents
etc.
NEWS & INFORMATION DELIVERY TO GEOGRAPHIC COMMUNITIES
Delivers a basic level of historical data, plotted in an interactive chart/map environment.
WHAT IS UNIQUE?
The ubiquitous of the solution. No hardware, software or specialized knowledge is required. More advanced users can even automate data collection.
