Map Your Community

“Map Your Community” is a mapping interface developed by PolicyMap and provided by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia that allows users to easily create custom maps for user-defined locations. These custom maps provide a snapshot of current and historical economic and demographic conditions and can be used to conduct data analysis for community development activities. Information is available for many socioeconomic variables, including, but not limited to, poverty levels, census tract income levels, post office vacancies, and educational attainment.

Access Map Your Community from any web browser. The next steps are easy. Simply enter a location into the search box, select data layers for analysis, and immediately begin creating your own custom maps. Go to directly to PolicyMap for more options.
