Putting 10,000 School Campuses on the Map
Schools should be safe spaces where kids can learn and thrive. Public health researchers have long studied the negative impacts of commercial tobacco sales and marketing near schools. But they were working from imprecise and often inaccurate maps until we created the California School Campus Database.
Social Justice
Summary
We help organizations map disparities:
- Assessments of park access or affordable housing to guide community investment
- Mapping transportation networks and access
- Analyzing demographic and income patterns

Legal Scholar Justin Levitt is a nationally known expert on redistricting, and we helped create the online home of his All About Redistricting project.
