About this Project

Urban GIS, Inc. helped identify “opportunity areas” to help relocate CHA residents, using GIS to classify data variables and geographic datasets to a common scale that allowed variables to be weighted according to CHA direction. This multi-factor, equity-based system included parameters such as poverty and crime indexes, housing demography, and access to education and public transportation.  Urban GIS, Inc. also provided data conversion and map and exhibit creation services.
