Abstract is available here.
The Northeast Ohio Community and Neighborhood Data for Organizing (NEO CANDO) database is a constantly evolving, web-based information technology tool designed as a “one stop shop” to help inform decisions about the surrounding environment. The geographic focus of NEO CANDO is the 17 counties of Northeast Ohio and the various geographic levels within those counties. Within NEO CANDO, users can extract and map data across geography, time, and data source. Available data sources in NEO CANDO include the U.S. Census Bureau, the United States Postal Service, the Internal Revenue Service, the Ohio Department of Health, the Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court, the Cuyahoga Department of Children and Family Services, and the Cleveland Police Department. Demonstrations on how to use NEO CANDO will be available and other information about the Poverty Center’s research will also be presented.
