The Pennsylvania State Data Center aims to provide high-quality, interactive, and novel ways to interact with public data. Our visualizations utilize a variety of technology and software including ArcGIS Online, Tableau, Datawrapper and iDashboards.
This visualization, created as a collaboration with our affiliate, Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children, visualizes the changing racial and ethnic composition of Pennsylvania children by school district. The accompanying report highlights statewide trends and includes information on how to use the visualization.
This interactive visualization uses data at the municipal level from the American Community Survey to show patterns in the place of residence and place of work for Pennsylvanians. This visualization includes four categories which expand our understanding of commuter flows by considering those who work (or do not work) in a municipality that neighbors the municipality in which they live.
