PolicyMap – Join us to learn about this library resource!
Description:
PolicyMap is a U.S. national data and mapping tool that combines a curated, comprehensive geographic data library with simple, robust mapping and analytics tools. It is used for research, market studies, business planning, grant applications, impact analysis and more. Users can leverage thousands of U.S. data indicators in PolicyMap to perform demographic and socioeconomic analysis, from a neighborhood census block group up to a national level, as well as create custom regions, for their research and studies.
This session will highlight the datasets available in the tool and will cover the basic user interface (searching for locations, loading datasets, saving & printing) as well as unique custom functionality (creating custom regions, editing ranges, customizing colors, etc.). We will also cover how to quickly upload a point (address) dataset to share or for internal study, downloading point and layer data, and how to use the Multi-Layer Maps tool to overlay up to 5 layers of data. Some of the newer features we will highlight are Map Extent, which allows users to see how data layer ranges are represented locally, and the OR function in Multilayer Maps, which introduces colors and patterns to show how 1, 2, or more data layers might overlap.
