NNIP Data Inventory

NNIP Data Inventory 2007: A Picture of Local Data Collection Across the Country , by Elizabeth H. Guernsey and Kathryn L. S. Pettit. Washington, D.C.: The Urban Institute, December 2007.

The local partners in the National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership (NNIP) have built information systems with recurrently updated data on various neighborhood conditions in their cities for community planning and action. In the summer of 2007, NNIP surveyed its 29 local partners to collect information about the sources, dates, and geography of their data files. The survey confirmed that local partners are fulfilling their function as data intermediaries, negotiating for access to data on a range of topics and transforming the files into indicators useful for community action. While some data sets are very commonly available now, several topic areas need further development. Sponsored by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, this report summarizes the data holdings of NNIP partners. The data holdings of NNIP partners are continuously updated. Thus, the report and corresponding tables are current as of December 15, 2007.
