Data on the Neighborhoods of New York City and New York State

The Infoshare Community Information Service is a sophisticated tool that lets planners, community activists, teachers, students, researchers, and ordinary citizens view and analyze a vast array of community and regional data. InfoShare Online ("infoshare.org/") includes over 3000 neighborhood definitions and 50,000 items of data gathered during the last decade on the neighborhoods. These include population statistics, immigration trends, socio-economic indicators, birth and death data, hospitalizations, local trade data, and much more.

Except for Demographic Projections, which are purchased from commercial firms, all data files are obtained from City, State and Federal government agencies. Community Studies of New York is in constant contact with these agencies, and incorporates the newest data as soon as it becomes available. Community Studies obtains from its data sources data at the smallest geographic area at which it is publicly available, usually census tracts and zip codes.
