My Neighborhood Statistics and NYC OASIS

Filed under: Research tips, Types of journalism, NYC, Beat reporting, Maps, Statistics & data - journalismlibrary @

How clean are the streets in your beat neighborhood? Has the murder rate been falling, or increasing? How many 311 calls have come in? Answer these questions and many more with My Neighborhood Statistics, an interactive tool from the Mayor’s Office of Operations. The data is searchable by street address or intersection.

Another interactive site, NYC OASIS, is a product of the New York City Open Accessible Space Information System Cooperative, and enables you to create maps of open space, identify natural resources and landmarks, and even model “what-if” scenarios.
