This are the sample datasets we have used on the Spatial Equity Data Tool. These represent the kinds of datasets that users can upload to our tool. For help finding more data, we suggest looking at your city's open data portal. Below is a description of each of the sample datasets
1) New York City Wi-Fi hotspots: This data was pulled from [NYC's Open Data portal]. (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/City-Government/NYC-Wi-Fi-Hotspot-Location...) We simply chose the Export
> Download
> CSV
option.
2) New Orleans 311 calls: This data was pulled from New Orleans' Open Data Portal. To generate this data, we used a custom Socrata API endpoint URL (https://data.nola.gov/resource/3iz8-nghx.csv?$limit=500000) as the regular data export options return date strings in non ECMAScript format and won't work with the date filters on the tool. Our custom URL is based on the Socrata CSV download url, but with a user added limit parameter to get all the results in one call. To learn more about this dataset and the Socrata API, please see here: https://dev.socrata.com/foundry/data.nola.gov/3iz8-nghx
3) Minneapolis bike share stations: This data was downloaded from the Minneapolis Nice Ride System Data page. Their data on station locations was only available as a JSON so we wrote a short script to convert that JSON into a CSV that was compatible with our tool. That script can be found in the Github repo for the tool.
