This dashboard was created as a visual tool to see the spatial distribution of residential code enforcement implementation.The violations, represented by the point markers, are overlaid on top of ACS tract-level data. A KPI panel populates pertinent information about the filtered violation as the user adjusts their view.
The user can filter the violations by location, year, type, status, priority, council district, and L&I enforcement district. They also have the option to switch between several ACS metrics, including data on income, poverty, standardized concentration of different racial groups, and housing costs.
The following data was sourced from the City of Philadelphia via OpenDataPhilly:
- Violations: (https://opendataphilly.org/datasets/licenses-and-inspections-code-violations/)
- 2014 L&I Districts: (https://opendataphilly.org/datasets/licenses-and-inspections-districts/)
- 2024 Council Districts: (https://opendataphilly.org/datasets/city-council-districts/)
Neighborhood characteristics were pulled from the United States Census 2023 ACS 5-Year Survey.
