Filter & search

FILTERS: There are multiple ways to filter data down so you can focus on specific property types or patterns. Filters apply instantly - updating the map and charts in real time. You can combine multiple filters across many topics.

Filter Pane (Top Banner)

• This pane displays by default when you select a theme tab or click the VIEW PARCELS button on the top right of the map.

• The Reset Filters button clears all filters

  

• You can combine multiple filters to narrow down properties and data you are interested in. For example: Vacant, Investor Owned, and Non-Local Owner selection would narrow the parcels down only to those that meet all three criteria.

• There are three types of filters in this pane: toggle buttons, sliders, and dropdown menus.

  

• Toggle buttons are the black buttons that turn filters on and off for properties that match specific criteria. Hover over any button for a description of its criteria.

• Sliders: You can click and drag slider filters to change the minimum and maximum range for the Built Date and # of Living Units.

• Dropdown Menus: Click the down arrow to view these filters.

  • Land Use Category narrows down parcels on the map according to their function (ex: Residential, Commercial, Industrial). Note that Land Use Categories simplify Land Use Codes into fewer categories for easier analysis.

  • Geographic Boundary filters parcels down to a specific geographic boundary. First select the type of boundary you are interested in (ex: City Council District) and then the specific geographic area(s) you want to view (ex: Districts 1 & 2).

Side Panel

• You can also filter the map by interacting with the charts and categories in the lefthand panel of the map.

  

• You may select multiple categories at once to narrow the results even further. In the screenshot example below, properties with 2-4 311 service requests in the past year are selected, and the data about building and demolition permits reflects just these properties.

• To undo these filters, you can click the circular arrow reset button at the top of the section you filtered.

Search for One Address or Owner

• On the lefthand pane, click the Search for an Address or Owner to look up properties by address or owner name.

• A textbox will appear. Type in the address or owner and select the property you are looking for from the list of results.

• For the best results, note that owner names might be recorded as [Last Name] [First Name], instead of [First Name] [Last Name].

  

• The selected property will be highlighted on the map.

• You can click on it to view more information in a popup window, including data about the property owner, zoning, land use, tax assessment and appraisal, sales, evictions, recent 311 requests, and more.
