Visualization of 2020 census data.

In the 1930s the federal government created redlining maps for almost every major American city. Mapping Inequality lets you explore these maps and the history of racial and ethnic discrimination in housing policy.

This web application provides interactive maps for model-based estimates of 40 chronic disease and other health related measures and 9 non-medical factor measures from ACS at county, place, census tract, and ZCTA levels. PLACES is a collaboration between CDC, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the CDC Foundation.

Partnership for the Public Good is a community-based think tank that builds a more just, sustainable, and culturally vibrant Buffalo Niagara through action-oriented research, policy development, and citizen engagement.

In response to the mass shooting in Buffalo, the Black Buffalo Syllabus Collective compiled a list of articles, books, op-eds, policy reports, poems, and media on different themes to contextualize the social, economic, and political climate of Buffalo today. This list makes up the #BuffaloSyllabus, which the collective saw as an opportunity to center the experiences of Black people in Western New York. The intended audience of this list is Buffalo’s Black community, local educators, politicians, communities of color allies, organizers, and anyone else interested in learning more about that “Rust Belt Resilience.”
