Indicator Filtering Added to Beta.DataPlace.org
The development team at KnowledgePlex announces a new and powerful data filtering tool now available at beta.dataplace.org. Users can filter across all locations in the U.S. using any of the 2,300+ indicators on DataPlace.
This new feature can help you better analyze data by narrowing down large lists of locations using very specific criteria. Looking for loan amounts in a specific range? The example below shows how an original list of 791 cities in California can be reduced to 531. Click on the histogram to see the matching list of cities. You can also combine multiple filters and indicators to narrow your results even more.
Visit DataPlace to build your own data filter.

Following up with our last issue on hot button topics affecting affordable housing, it’s finally time to let the data do the talking. As we watch the debates and the rancor, we thought it’d be fun to see what the data says about each candidate and his/her region represented. The reason why we are labeling this fun, as opposed to a serious exposition, is that comparing data between candidates’ regions is fraught with peril from any sort of scientific perspective. read special report

Over the last few weeks, America has seen economic turmoil that, for many experts, is conjuring specters of the Great Depression. Foreclosure continues to cripple millions of homeowners and countless communities. Now, on a scale that few had foreseen, a larger, resultant crisis is unfolding. A domino trail of collapsing Wall Street giants has led to massive government intervention. As Congress mulls the components of this rescue plan, debate rages over its chances of success. In this Special Report, KnowledgePlex.org will provide ongoing coverage of the financial crisis and its effect on our economy and our communities.
