Maps can be useful tools to assess community needs, understand patterns
of behavior, analyze the availability of services, and benchmark
conditions that an initiative hopes to change over time. CPEC has
mapped:
exterior conditions of homes for a homeownership program with funds to invest in improvements
concentrations of low income families with children, addresses of
pediatricians accepting Medicaid and bus routes for a coalition
building a community strategy for early childhood services
five years of housing investments and abandoned buildings to help
a group of community development corporations understand change in
neighborhood conditions
thirty years of change in concentrations of families living in
poverty for a foundation interested in improving family economic success
CPEC can produce maps as PDF files, 8.5 x 11
handouts and poster sized prints for meetings. We can also
provide maps ready for your website or an interactive mapping tool that
permits web users to choose among variables to create their own maps.
