Views

Think of "Views" like modes of analysis that allow you to look at different geographic levels.

For most theme tabs (i.e., all except Explore), you can view data at the parcel level or rolled up by different geographic boundaries.

Note that all maps are set to “VIEW PARCELS” by default.

Supported Views

1. Parcel View

When you open each tab, you will first see a map with each individual property parcel outlined by default.

This parcel view allows you to:

  • filter down to a subset of properties

  • see details for a single property

You can switch/switch back to this view by clicking the VIEW PARCELS or FILTER PARCELS button on the top right of the map.

Property Profile

When you are in the Parcel View, you can click on any property on the map to view a popup window, or tooltip, containing more information. This "Property Profile" contains data about the property owner, zoning, land use, tax assessment and appraisal, sales, evictions, recent 311 requests, and more.

Visit the Data Reference section in this guide to find more information about data sources & refresh schedules, data rules, and the data dictionary.

2. Trends (Geographic Area) Views

This view is activated by selecting the VIEW TRENDS button and is ideal for spotting spatial patterns and comparing neighborhoods.

The data is rolled up to different levels including:

  • A hexagon heat map that becomes more detailed as you zoom in

  • Census Tract

  • Zip Code

  • City Council District

  • County Commission District

You can click inside a geographic boundary to view a popup window with more information and stats for just that area.

  • The example below shows the underlying number of vacant and occupied properties that go into the % Properties Vacant statistic for the 38112 zip code.

To clear the popup from the screen, click the x in the top right corner.

How to Switch Views

1

The buttons to switch views are located on the right side of the toolbar at the top of the screen.

Click VIEW PARCELS to view property level data and filter down by criteria.

Click VIEW TRENDS to look at the data as a heat map or by Census tract, zip code, City Council district, or County Commission district.
