IP3 ASSESS Product Features

  • Build your own geographies

    Create and manage custom areas using the simple area builder. Areas can be built from individual or groups of census tracts, zip codes, cities, counties, or states. Areas made up of more than one geographic entity (e.g. multiple zip codes) can include contiguous or non-contiguous areas. Users can explore data for each geography configured on the platform.

  • Data organized by frameworks

    Frameworks can be applied to quantitative data to help us more-effectively use data to inform our work. Data frameworks are arranged into a simple series of “domains” (or categories) that organize a set of indicators that measure community health and well-being. This powerful way of framing data helps us account for local conditions instead of generalizing or making assumptions. Toggle between frameworks to explore different data for the same geography.

  • Compare to state and national benchmarks

    The “fuel gauge” visualizations depict z-scores for indicators relative to the selected benchmark (usually either the corresponding state average or the national average). This approach allows an "apples to apples" comparison of data from a variety of sources and with a variety of units and collection methods. The fuel gauge is red if an indicator scores worse than the benchmark and green if the data are better than the benchmark, so users quickly see how an area performs, simplifying interpretation of data across the platform.

  • Trends over time

    When data are available from multiple years on the platform, a dynamic trend line graph shows time series data for any indicator and geography. Time series graphs are also available as report widgets, so users can highlight changes in a given indicator and geographic area over time.

  • Race and ethnicity data

    Whenever available from the original source of the data, population breakout data are always shown on the platform. Dynamic bar charts show race and/or ethnicity breakouts for a given indicator and geographic area. Bar charts are also available as report widgets, so users can highlight differences and similarities across population groups.

  • Maps

    Heat maps show how data for a given indicator vary across a geographic area. Heat maps are also available as report widgets, so users can highlight variations in a given indicator across a geographic area and easily compare nearby neighborhoods.

Customizable Reports

Reports enable you to highlight a specific set of data—around a framework, topic area, project—and share data and data visualizations with staff, partners, stakeholders, and funders. Create, manage and duplicate reports using our simple widget library, and/or work with our team to create a custom report template for you. Embed custom reports on your own website to create a shareable online data dashboard. Create a report that is specific to one geographic area, or use the drop down at the top right to see data for all areas configured on the platform—when you select a new area, the data automatically update to reflect data describing the corresponding community. See a sample report.
