Wisconsin Eagle/10243683

Trending...
~ The City of Madison has launched the Neighborhood Indicators Project (NIP) website, a tracking system designed to monitor the wellbeing of its communities. The NIP provides geographically detailed data for over 50 variables within seven topic areas, such as total population, number of dwelling units and subsidized rental units, high mobility students and more. It is supported by various data sources that range from city, county, state and federal data sources.

The 2022 Edition includes a significant improvement. Data is now provided at two commonly used Census geographies – Tracts and Block Groups – making it easier to compare results for areas across Madison. Additionally, the NIP's local data can be considered within the context of other data reported at the Tract and Block Group geography.

The NIP is a valuable tool for a wide range of entities such as community-based organizations, non-profits, the business community and governmental officials and staff. It can help identify vulnerable communities that would benefit most from community support and resources. The City of Madison Planning Division offers free workshops to local organizations to learn more about NIP data and the NIP website.

The NIP is a partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Applied Population Lab. Urvashi Martin from the City of Madison Planning Division encourages those interested in learning more about NIP to contact her at umartin@cityofmadison.com for more details.
